Have a Dog? Want to Share the Love?

Beesley’s Paw Prints Pet Therapy teams visit partner agencies, organizations, courts, and schools.

Interacting with animals can stimulate laughter and joy in people whose lives have been affected by illness or depression. Playing with pets can stimulate adults and children to become more physically active too.

Join the Beesley’s Paw Prints team with your own registered pet, or let us guide you on getting your pet registered.

We can guarantee it will be a rewarding experience for you both!

Beesley’s Paw Prints is a United Way collaborative within our network of partners including Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) and Gulf Coast Humane Society (GCHS). The program is generously supported by Carol Beesley.

Note: Must be 18 to be on a Pet Therapy team.

Dogs and their handlers are registered by national organizations such as Alliance for Therapy Dogs, Pet Partners, Love On A Leash, or Therapy Dogs International. Therapy dogs undergo testing to assure they have good manners and react positively to strangers. Pets in the program are:

• Clean & well-groomed
• Have good manners
• Up-to-date on vaccines
• Covered by insurance of a national therapy dog organization
• Over one year in age

Do you think your dog would be a great addition to our Beesley’s Paw Prints program?

All breeds and blends are eligible to become therapy dogs except for coyote or wolf blends.
