Mission:

To provide comfort through canine-assisted therapy for our patients who are struggling with physical or psychological challenges, persons who are in the final stages of life as well as our longer term patients in our Nursing Center.

What makes the dogs of Paws for Healing special? 

They are family pets that have been qualified to do a very important job in health care facilities. Together with their handlers, social-therapy canines help to alleviate depression, promote confidence, motivate patients in physical therapy and provide a much needed element in the healing process of unconditional love.
