Connection is the Cure
Give Comfort, Joy & Connection
For nearly 30 years, Hand in Paw has helped children, seniors, and patients find comfort through the unconditional love of animals. Your gift today powers every tail wag, every smile, and every moment of connection that changes lives.
Here's how your donation helps:
$50 helps a Therapy Team make a healing visit.
$100 trains and supports new volunteers.
$250 expands visits to schools, hospitals, and care centers.
Every dollar helps more people experience the healing power of the human–animal bond.
“Interacting with so many people from different backgrounds, each with their own challenges, fears, joys, and excitements, has helped me grow in empathy, compassion, and love for others. Every therapeutic interaction between Hasley and another human in need makes me want to do another visit and help even more.”
