The mission of Gabriel’s Angels is nurturing youth and their well-being by connecting them with the healing power of pets and compassionate adults.

Helping children through the power of pet therapy

Gabriel’s Angels provides resilience-building pet therapy programs to kids and teens ages 5-18 at schools, shelters, and other youth-serving organizations throughout Arizona. Thanks to the generous support of our community, services are provided free of charge to ensure that youth receive the support they need regardless of their families’ economic circumstances. With the unconditional love of therapy pets to help guide the way, youth enjoy learning the nuances of teamwork, forming healthy relationships, regulating emotions, practicing attunement, treating others with kindness, celebrating differences, and respecting others.
