Gabriel’s Angels is one of the few programs that deliver free healing Pet Therapy services to vulnerable children throughout Arizona. In this upcoming year, we expect to serve 2,300 children with 125 registered Pet Therapy teams at 75 partner agencies statewide. Pet Therapy teams and Helping Hands visit partner agencies, some of which are Title I schools, after school programs, domestic violence and homeless shelters, and group homes, all in an effort to intervene in children’s lives and enhance their social and emotional development by teaching core behaviors – attachment, confidence, self-regulation, affiliation, empathy, tolerance, and respect.
