Therapaws of Michigan, Inc. A Therapy Dog Organization
What We Do
Therapaws of Michigan, Inc. (Therapaws), a canine-assisted therapy program, is dedicated to promoting and fostering the human-animal bond in therapeutic and educational settings.
Therapaws of Michigan, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) all-volunteer organization, has more than 130 dog pet therapy teams who visit 40+ settings in the Washtenaw County area.
Members must be registered and insured through the national testing organization, Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD).
The moment may involve a resident at an extended care facility or a shy child needing motivation and confidence to improve his reading in school.
The certified, well-behaved therapy dogs in Therapaws provide the support, patience and — sometimes — tail wags to make people smile, relax and feel comforted.
