Paws for Youth (formerly Gabriel's Angels)

By pairing kids and teens who have experienced trauma with trained therapy pets and dedicated volunteers, Paws for Youth helps them navigate challenges, feel valued, and grow to their full potential. 

With the unconditional love of therapy pets to guide the way, youth build confidence and enjoy learning the nuances of forming healthy relationships, treating others with respect and kindness, regulating their emotions, and more. This pet therapy work goes beyond comfort – it’s transformative, intentional, and driven by data for maximum impact. 

Thanks to support from our Arizona community, programs are always provided completely free of charge.
