Volunteers visit facilities that house abused children along with therapy dogs
They allow children to play with the therapy dogs and this improves their self-esteem
What do you do?

How can one volunteer?
You can volunteer if you have a dog that can get along with children
You will need to attend a session at Gabriel’s Angels, a non-profit organization that provides pet therapy
