As students prepare for a new school year, they are filling their backpacks with notebooks, pencils, and school supplies. At You're Not Alone;, our therapy dog teams are getting ready too.

Each week, our therapy dog teams walk through school doors carrying the tools they need to create meaningful connections with students. Trading cards become conversation starters. Books encourage discussion. Educational resources and supplies help students feel comfortable enough to open up about anxiety, bullying, loneliness, and life's challenges.

Sometimes, all it takes is one question: "Can I pet your dog?" That simple interaction can be the beginning of a conversation that reminds a student they are seen, supported, and never alone.

This back to school season, our goal is to raise $1,000 to provide essential supplies for our therapy dog teams. Your donation will help purchase trading cards, team materials, educational resources, and other tools that allow our volunteers to focus on what matters most, supporting students.

Every gift helps our therapy dog teams walk into schools ready to bring comfort, connection, and hope to the students who need it most.

Together, we can send our therapy dog teams back to school prepared to make a difference, one paw, one conversation, and one student at a time. 🐾💚

Back to School!

School supplies aren't just for students. Help equip our therapy dog teams with the tools they need to bring comfort, connection, and hope to schools across Minnesota this school year.
