Helping children and teens navigate challenges, discover strength after trauma, and feel safety and comfort in a stressful world. Rather than operating a single facility, Paws for Youth brings pet therapy programs to Title I schools, shelters, behavioral treatment centers, and other youth-serving partners – all entirely free of charge. With the unconditional love of therapy pets to guide the way, youth build confidence and enjoy learning the nuances of forming healthy relationships, treating others with respect and kindness, regulating their emotions, and more. It’s pet therapy that goes beyond comfort – it’s transformative, intentional, and driven by data for maximum impact.
