Our Purpose

Paws & Pals was created to bring prevention, recovery and continued healing to children and teens facing mental health and life struggles. Our behavioral and wellness program is built around our safe, all-inclusive community center filled with over a dozen healing activities for all ages. Our one-of-a-kind animal assited therapy program offers healing with the unconditional love of our therapy dogs and our dedicated mentors.

We offer hope and healing to youth struggling with mental health issues at our           behavioral and wellness facility. 

We call it “The DAWG Pound”

All-inclusive behavioral & wellness facility developed to build stronger communities through education, mentoring and animal assisted therapy.
