Mission
Since 1997 we have been bringing unconditional love to all those we meet in the Houston area through pet therapy. We are a 501(c)(3) volunteer run organization, recognized by the American Kennel Club. In 2022 we logged over 10,000 visits to hospitals, libraries, schools, senior living communities, memory care, hospice, universities, rehab facilities and those who request and support our mission. Our pet therapy teams are trained in house and certified by passing the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Test as well as additional emphasis on these skills as applied to pet therapy visits, safety and integrity. We are Houston's largest pet therapy organization and have been recognized for our service in the community. We keep our membership fees low. Donations help support our work.
