My Nonprofit Reviews

My sister with stage 4 multiple Gliomas has been in and out of local hospitals due to the disease. She was unresponsive for two days until she met one of the Denver Pet Partners therapy dogs. Once the dog greeted her she became responsive!! NOTHING else had gotten through to her. After that she was awake and alert. I can’t express enough how incredible this was. We thought we would never see her alert again. Later, after a surgery she was not doing well once again . Denver Pet Partners again came to the rescue. She responded to the therapy dog where family and friends and nurses could not reach her. She was neutral towards digs before her illness but these amazing dogs got through to her so I can honestly say that you don’t have to be a dog lover to benefit from this program !! She would wait all day for the dog to come visit her. The sweet dogs and their wonderful handlers brought joy in the darkest of times and gave us all hope. I can’t express how much of a corner she turned each time she was hospitalized and got a therapy dog visit. When a person is struggling physically and cannot communicate the way they once did, these incredible dogs reach the patients and give unconditional love, acceptance, and hope. There really are no words to adequately express what we witnessed. I am not sure that my sister would have woken up without the dogs. I rest easier knowing when she is in the hospital that they are there. This program is so so so important and necessary for patients!!! Please keep this program going and from the bottom of my entire family’s hearts, THANK YOU !!!!
