My Nonprofit Reviews

Ruby and I continue to serve the community through HIP, and feel blessed after each and every visit we make. We love our work with children and enjoy watching them read. The many patients we have visited in hospitals have touched our hearts. And the nursing home residents bring us joy. I often wonder who gets more out of the visits, us, or those we serve. I look forward to our future visits and the many friends we will make along the way.

I am so honored that my little dog, Ruby and I are a pet therapy team working with Hand In Paw. We visit retirement/ nursing homes on Sunday afternoons. There are some people so excited we are coming that they are waiting at the door for our arrival. Ruby and Ilove our weekly visits with shelter children. They read to her as part of our Sit Stay Read program. Some of the children even show her the pictures in the books they read. It is so cute and helps promote reading. We love visiting the hospitals and bringing smiles to the patients and their families. We know it helps to take some of the pain away, at least for a little while. And this past summer we participated in a Pawsitive Living program with a group of therapy teams. This experience alone, changed my life for the better. We witnessed through this program a tranformation in the lives of some beautiful teenage girls who had been used and abused. I will never forget the girls, and therapy teams, and the difference it made in our lives. And all of this was possible becaus of Hand In Paw.
