Our mission is:
To provide affection, comfort, and love through therapy animals to people in various settings within the Houston metro area.
We have teams of handlers (owners) and their trained dogs around Houston ready to bring a smile to your face. Whether it’s calming nerves or bringing laughter, our therapy dogs are there to brighten your day.
Therapy dog programs have proven to have great benefits:
- Lowers blood pressure
- Releases endorphins (oxytocin) that have a calming effect
- Releases dopamine that bring happiness
- Lowers levels of cortisol (responsible for stress)
- Offer unconditional acceptance
We offer AAA (animal-assisted activities). This includes senior facilities, hospitals, hospice, and centers for adults/children with disabilities. You can see (and sometimes hear) the delight people get when a therapy dog enters the area. We also go to public libraries where we have the kids read to the dogs. The therapy dogs act as non-judgmental listeners and as a calm presence to reduce anxiety. The children are able to improve their literacy, comprehension, and communication.
