How to Take Action
Turning Interest into Action
Welcome to Healing Puppy Project! We are a nonprofit therapy dog organization! We are dedicated to training and providing our therapy dogs to people in need of mental health support, and benefit from their companionship and support. We believe in the transformative power of the human-animal bond and the positive impact that therapy dogs can have on mental health and wellbeing.
Our organization introduces therapy dogs to hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and other organizations in our community. These dogs are specially trained to provide comfort, emotional support, and companionship to those in need.
Therapy dogs have been shown to improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase socialization and engagement in activities. We believe that therapy dogs can help people overcome a wide range of emotional and physical challenges, and we are dedicated to bringing the benefits of therapy dogs to as many people as possible.
But we can't do it alone. We rely on volunteers from people like you to add to our programs and services. Every therapy dog-handler team helps us provide our fuzzy faces to those in need, and every helping hand goes directly to making people smile.

Volunteering with us provides a unique and fulfilling opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others while spending time with incredible therapy dogs. Our organization, in partnership with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, connects local, registered therapy dogs with communities in need of comfort and joy. By volunteering, you'll not only witness the positive impact these dogs have on people's lives but also become part of a compassionate network that brings smiles, reduces stress, and enhances well-being. Whether you're looking to give back, connect with others, or share the love of your therapy dog, volunteering with us is a rewarding way to contribute to your community.
