How You

Can Help

There are countless ways you can help us in our mission. You can:

  • make a donation (however big or small)
  • purchase a puppy that isn’t suitable for therapy (only the calmest pups go on to become therapy dogs)
  • join our fundraiser events, or volunteer your time to help us care for the puppies (they need lots of time and attention!).
