Los Angeles, CA

Children are our most valuable resource. So when one becomes ill, all conceivable measures should be taken to restore their vibrancy. At Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, a volunteer team called Love on 4 Paws brings out the big dogs, little pups, and cuddly cats, all with one thing besides wet licks in common; to assist in the healing process.

Love on 4 Paws is an animal assisted therapy program, whose trained volunteers commit to a minimum of three monthly visits of bringing their own pet- dogs, cats, rabbits- to provide fur-covered therapy to ill children.

If you’re interested in volunteering your time and sharing the love we know comes unconditionally from four-legged family members, this is the way to do it.
