Our Impact

Founded in 2000 in Phoenix, Arizona, Gabriel’s Angels is dedicated to improving the lives of children through interactions with animals. Gabriel’s Angels’ core service is delivering pet therapy, or animal-assisted activities, to vulnerable children throughout the state. The program recruits and trains volunteers to achieve their mission of “Through the life-changing power of Pet Therapy, Gabriel’s Angels enhances the social and emotional development of vulnerable children.”

In our 22-year legacy serving the youth of Arizona, Gabriel’s Angels has consistently and actively sought out evaluative feedback to improve our services, a quality of critical value in the growing area of animal-assisted therapy. The program has also developed a logic model where its services and key activities are linked with its intended outcomes. This report extends that work and provides new data from the sites on the program’s impact.
