Wags for Hope was founded on a simple belief: the unconditional love of animals has the power to heal, inspire, and uplift. What started as a small local group of pet lovers has grown into a thriving volunteer-based organization bringing smiles, comfort, and hope to thousands through animal-assisted therapy.
To provide kindness and comfort with our pets to those in assisted living facilities, nursing homes and hospital settings.
To inspire the love of reading in children with our pets at libraries and schools.
To show the benefits of pet therapy in our communities with our pets.
We are always seeking volunteers who would like to contribute a little of their time each month with their pets. How much time you devote is strictly up to you. We would prefer a handler willing to offer a minimum of two visits per month. You may be surprised how much you and your pet(s) will benefit from this. We welcome folks without pets too!
