Welcome to the Lend A Paw Blog!
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.

Oakview Assisted Living and Nursing Facility
3557 Campus Drive
Thousand Oaks, CA
We visit two groups at this facility and the residents really enjoy our visits. We can take up to 4 Therapy Teams and we usually meet outside the front entrance. We can really use some smaller dogs who can sit on patients' laps, for those in wheelchair, who cannot bend over or cannot use their arms to pet the dogs! If you have questions, contact Jennifer Shoemaker at: 805-231-1911.
