Why give?

Students with developmental or communication challenges often find it easier to connect with therapy dogs. These interactions can build confidence, improve peer engagement, and encourage meaningful human connections.

Research shows that therapy animals can improve attention spans, increase motivation, and create a more engaging learning environment—especially for students with sensory processing or behavioral challenges.

Therapy dogs complement the great work educators and support staff are already doing by adding another layer of emotional and sensory support. Their calming presence helps create an even more welcoming, responsive space where all students can thrive.
-
🐾
Most school districts do not have the budget to provide therapy dogs or animal-assisted services. Your donation bridges that gap and provides a life changing resource to the students who need it most.
-
🐾
Each therapy dog supports dozens of students over several years. Your donation doesn’t just change a single day, it helps create ongoing growth, healing, and connection for countless children.
