My Nonprofit Reviews

To me, Hand in Paw encompasses so many facets of assistance to others in our community. On any given day, their certified trained teams can be found spreading love and compassion at our local Children's Hospital, Hospital Cancer Center, School Reading Programs, working with troubled youth, developmentally disabled children, visiting an Assisted Living Facility or Skilled Nursing Facility, at a local university or business providing stress relief from exam pressures or stressful business environments. Many of the animals who are a vital part of the trained therapy teams are actual rescues from local animal rescue organizations. In volunteering with Hand in Paw, it's been a segway in to working with or touching so many other organizations where we all work together to enrich one another's respective missions. This is just one of the many reasons why I am dedicated to, and love, Hand in Paw.

This organization encompasses so many avenues of service to the community with their diverse vision and utilization of pets who are trained, along with their owners, to provide animal assisted therapy. The standard of excellence in which they conduct their business has gained them national & international attention with other similar entities reaching out to them for guidance in their own programs.
Hand in Paw currently provides pet assisted therapy to Cancer units in hospitals, Children's Hospital & various units within that hospital, workplace stress environment therapy along with college campuses & study groups, therapy assistance with troubled youths, reading & literacy programs, autistic and developmentally disabled, therapy visits to the elderly at Assisted Living & Skilled Nursing facilities as well as the abused, battered, mental health and substance abuse. Their scope of services continues
to expand and be in demand creating a broad waiting list of clients to experience their compassionate services delivered through their trained pets and the pet owners.
It's pretty cool to see them in action.
