Where you can find up to date information about the program, current LAP teams and LAP therapy dogs candidates, scheduled visits, and much more.
Lend A Paw is committed to enhancing the lives of individuals experiencing physical, mental, emotional or life challenges by providing therapy dogs to offer warmth, compassion, unconditional love and a healing environment. The program is designed to rescue dogs from the shelter and train them to be therapy dogs. Individuals are also invited to join our LAP team with their own dogs provided the dogs have the required obedience and temperament for therapy work.

Scheduled Visits - Week of February 28th

There are only 2 scheduled Lend A Paw visits for this week:

Wednesday, March 2nd @ 10:30 AM:
Edelman Childrens Courthouse
201 Centre Plaza Drive
Monterey Park, CA

Imagine spending the day at the courthouse waiting to speak to judges and attorneys about your life. Now that's stress! Please join us and add a little  comic relief for good kids ranging in age from 5 to 17 years old. It'll put a smile on their faces and yours too! We need a maximum of 6 therapy teams for this visit. And do not forget to bring your $5 parking ticket inside so they can validate it.

Sunday, March 6th @ 10:30 AM:
Oakview Assisted Living and Nursing Facility
3557 Campus Drive
Thousand Oaks, CA

We visit two groups at this facility and the residents really enjoy it! We can take up to 4 therapy teams and we usually meet outside the front entrance. We could really use some small dogs that can sit on patients laps. Especially for those who are in wheelchairs and cannot bend over or move their arms to pet the dogs!
