Healing Hearts Through Pets

For more than 20 years, Pet Prescription Team has witnessed something extraordinary: sometimes comfort arrives on four paws.

Our certified therapy dog teams bring love, comfort, and connection to people when they need it most—visiting hospitals, schools, senior communities, correctional facilities, community programs, and individuals facing difficult and often heartbreaking circumstances.

Every visit is provided by dedicated volunteers who give their time because they believe in the healing power of the human-animal bond.

Your donation doesn't simply support an organization

It helps put a therapy dog beside someone who needs comfort, connection, and a reason to smile. Together, We Can Heal More Hearts For more than two decades, our volunteers and their dogs have shown up—one person, one paw, and one visit at a time. With your help, we'll keep showing up.

Help Us Keep Showing Up

As the need for therapy dog visits continues to grow, so does the cost of making those visits possible. Your donation helps Pet Prescription Team train and support our volunteer teams, maintain the insurance and resources necessary for our programs, and continue bringing therapy dogs into communities where they are needed.

This campaign focuses on expanding our core outreach through three primary objectives:

Certifying 50 new handler and dog teams to meet the rising demand.
Expanding our programs.
Providing specialized training for teams working in special outreaches.

Your Direct Impact

When you give to the Pet Prescription Team, your contribution translates directly into service hours. For example, a gift of $100 helps cover the annual insurance and background checks for one volunteer team, allowing them to complete dozens of visits. Your generosity makes it possible for us to maintain our high standards of excellence while reaching more neighbors in need.

Support Our Mission

Join Us in Reaching Our Goal

We have set a goal to raise the necessary funds to eliminate our current waitlist and ensure that no senior, patient, inmate or child goes without a visit. Every dollar contributed brings a certified team one step closer to a hospital bedside, classroom, library, jail cell or special needs outreach. We invite you to join us in this investment in community health and emotional well being.
