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.

Halloween Spirit

Each year, the Lend A Paw Teams show everyone that Halloween is not just for children; Many of them show up to sites dressed in costumes. And this goes on for the entire month of October as well as early November. This year was no different! Many of our dedicated Lend A Paw volunteers and their canine sidekicks visited children and adults and demonstrated once again that they are willing to go above and beyond their duty to make someone happy! Here are a few photos of our LAP dogs and their wonderful handlers wearing Halloween costumes:

Belle was the cutest police officer!
The most beautiful Fairy Princess: Roxy!
