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 January 31st

There are three visits scheduled for this week:


Wednesday, February 2nd @ 10:30 AM:
Edelman Children's Courthouse
201 Centre Plaza Drive
Monterey Park, CA

Imagine spending a day at the courthouse waiting to speak to judges and attorneys about your life. Now that's stress! Please come 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 can only take a maximum of 6 teams for this visit, but NEED a minimum of 4 teams to avoid having to cancel. And be sure to bring your $5 parking ticket inside for validation.

Saturday, February 5th @ 9:00 AM:
Anne Douglas Center
310 Winston Street
Los Angeles, CA

This will be our first visit to this location. The center is LA Mission's Women's and Children's Outreach Facility. In addition to food and shelter, the center provides services such as counseling, job training and placement, medical services and child programs. Our group will be assisting with the Mommy and Me program that helps mothers with young children.
*We can only take 3 dogs, and will be driving together. So please meet at K9s Only at 8:15 AM on 2/5.

Saturday, February 5th @ 10:30 AM:
Jewish Home for the Aging / Eisenberg Village
