Spirit Cove's animal therapy team consists of gentle, giant Newfoundland therapy dogs who bring comfort and healing to those in need. We’re building an animal therapy ranch in Hendersonville, North Carolina, a place where individuals and communities can recover from trauma and rediscover hope. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the need for healing couldn't be more urgent.

And you can be a part of it—for just $7 a month.

Hurricane survivors, first responders, teachers, linemen, veterans, and healthcare workers have faced overwhelming challenges. Beyond the physical devastation, the emotional toll of natural disasters leaves deep scars: anxiety, depression, and isolation. Our Newfie Therapy Team is here to provide comfort, connection, and healing to those who need it most.

Why $7 Matters

For less than 25 cents a day, or one good cup of coffee a month, you can:

Help us build a safe haven for therapy sessions in the Asheville area.
Fund life-changing therapy visits to survivors and front-line heroes—those who are more comfortable giving help than asking for it.
Be part of a movement to restore hope to those struggling after Hurricane Helene.

Your $7/month ensures that our gentle giants can continue their vital work, bringing calm, strength, and unconditional love to those dealing with trauma.

Why Newfoundland Dogs?

Newfoundlands are uniquely suited to therapy work:

Their gentle nature and calm demeanor provide comfort and reassurance.
Their large size and soft, tactile presence create a sense of security for those in distress.
Their historic reputation as lifesaving water rescuers makes them relatable to those who’ve dedicated their lives to helping others.

Join Our Healing Team

By giving just $7 a month, you’ll make a lasting difference in the lives of Hurricane Helene survivors and the heroes who’ve worked tirelessly to protect them. We launched Spirit Cove in November 2018. Since that time, our Newfoundland therapy teams have helped over 160,000 people. Our goal is to open the ranch this coming Spring of 2025, seven years after we started the journey to Spirit Cove.

Your $7 a month can make a difference!
