CALLING ALL PET LOVERS! Please join us for a FREE introductory presentation to learn more about the unique power of the human/animal bond and how you can help Angel Paws - with or without a pet - share the magical benefits only a cold wet nose, furry toes and wagging tail can offer those in need. Although this orientation is not required to volunteer with Angel Paws attendance is recommended, when available, especially for those considering becoming a Pet Partners Therapy Team with their pet. Angel Paws Founder/Director, Volunteers and Recommended Dog Trainers (when available) will answer questions and discuss your next best steps following the presentation. People only! No pets please! However Angel Paws' Therapy/R.E.A.D. Dog Molly Moo Ringwald will be available to those needing a dog fix.

We encourage you to please take advantage of all the information we have provided for you here on our web site and contact us to guide you through the process. If you have a dog please begin dog training with one of our recommended dog trainers immediately! If you do not train with one of our recommended trainers please choose your trainer wisely.
