"I have managed over 125 different health care facilities in 14 states and Angel Paws is different than any other pet therapy program I have experienced in that your volunteers are highly professional, start to finish. I believe that Angel Paws is a role model for anyone seeking true Animal Assisted Therapy in a health care setting." - John Hughes, Former Owner/Administrator, Flint Ridge Nursing & Rehabilitation
"This organization highly values the mutually beneficial relationship between volunteer, patient and pet, with a keen attention to safety,
sensitivity and effective interaction." - Richard R. Donnard, D.O., Chief of Staff, Medical Center of Newark; Medical Director, Hospice of Central Ohio & Autumn Health Care
