Therapy dogs have been making a significant impact on enhancing learning and well-being in schools and care homes. Paws with Purpose CIC, a unique project dedicated to providing therapy dogs, is leading the way in this innovative approach to mental health and support.

Imagine the scene in a classroom: students gathered around a gentle, furry therapy dog, taking turns reading to their attentive listener. The calming presence of a therapy dog not only helps reduce stress and anxiety but also encourages a love for learning. Research has shown that interactions with therapy dogs can improve concentration, confidence, and overall emotional well-being in individuals of all ages. Paws with Purpose CIC offers a range of services tailored to schools and care homes. From reading programs where children can practice their reading skills in a non-judgmental environment to activities that promote physical and mental stimulation, their team of therapy dogs and experienced handlers are dedicated to making a positive impact on the community. What sets Paws with Purpose CIC apart is their deep understanding of both dogs and mental health. Their team has extensive experience in training and working with therapy dogs, ensuring the well-being of both the dogs and the individuals they interact with. This unique combination of expertise enables them to provide effective and tailored support to schools and care homes. For schools looking to enhance their learning environment and promote emotional well-being, incorporating therapy dogs into their programs can be a game-changer. Likewise, care homes seeking to bring joy and companionship to their residents can benefit greatly from the presence of therapy dogs.
By combining a love for dogs with a passion for mental health, Paws with Purpose CIC are paving the way for a brighter, more emotionally supportive future for all.
