Mission Statement
To support individuals with special needs by using the special bond of pets to help them reach their full potential.
Description
Redefining special needs therapy through innovation, compassion, and exceptional care within the special needs community. Our curriculum-based programs help individuals enhance their motor skills, emotional regulation, executive functioning, sensory processing, and more by engaging in adaptive activities supported by pets of various species. Founded in 2014 by a passionate mother of a son with Autism. She discovered she increased his progress by incorporating her French bulldog, Zoe, into her son’s therapy. We are a 96% volunteer-run organization serving over 2,300 individuals annually throughout Maricopa and Pima Counties, making Pawsitive Friendships and developing essential skills a success.
