Unlock the potential

Therapy dogs have long been known for their ability to provide comfort, support, and joy to individuals in various settings. At Paws with Purpose CIC, we have taken this concept to the next level by introducing therapy dogs into schools and care homes, with a focus on education and wellness.

Our project is not your typical therapy dog program. We have assembled a team of experienced professionals who have extensive knowledge in both working with dogs and mental health. This unique combination allows us to tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each school and care home we work with. One of the key services we offer is reading dogs. These specially trained dogs can help children improve their reading skills by providing a non-judgmental and supportive presence as they read aloud. Research has shown that reading to dogs can boost children's confidence and motivation, making the learning process more enjoyable. In addition to reading dogs, we also offer opportunities for staying active with dogs. Regular exercise and outdoor activities with therapy dogs can have numerous benefits for individuals of all ages, including improved physical health, reduced stress levels, and increased social interaction. Our project aims to not only bring joy and companionship to schools and care homes but also to unlock the full potential of each individual we work with. By incorporating therapy dogs into everyday activities, we strive to create a positive and nurturing environment where everyone can thrive. If you are a school or care home interested in incorporating therapy dogs into your program, we encourage you to reach out to us. We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to join our team and help us make a difference in the lives of others. Together, we can help unlock the potential of therapy dogs for education and wellness, one wagging tail at a time.
