About Us

Who we are...

Healing Heart Therapy Dogs is a non-profit organization supported through annual membership dues.

Hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers are sometimes frightening and lonely places for patients and residents. Healing Heart Therapy Dogs recognizes that interactions with specially trained animals help to transform a life of discouragement, fear, and sadness into one of happiness, independence and hope.

Where we help...

Healing Heart Therapy Dogs volunteers visit people in hospitals, nursing homes, retirement communities, assisted living centers, hospice programs, inpatient and outpatient mental health programs, community centers, schools, college campuses and many other settings

How we help...

Healing Heart Therapy Dogs Teams serve as a bridge to help develop a caring relationship with children and adults in may settings.
