Our mission: Help overlooked senior dogs find their forever homes.
Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary has been rescuing and adopting out senior dogs who are 7+ years old since 2013, and the success stories are powerful! Unfortunately, euthanizing senior dogs at county shelters is common due to a lack of space and a focus on younger, “more adoptable” dogs. Once in our safe haven, we aim to provide them with proper medical care and then place them into appropriate forever homes that will provide a high quality of life, love and care in their remaining years.

Hospice of the Valley’s pet therapy teams bring joy to everyone they meet. As soon as they walk into a room, our patients and families feel better.

Our cheerful teams visit our patients in homes, group homes, independent and assisted living communities, inpatient care homes, nursing facilities, trade shows and expos. Suitable pets include dogs, cats, bunnies and miniature horses with a current pet therapy certification.

We help individuals with special needs who are not engaging, complying or progressing in their therapy by providing Animal Assisted Therapy.
Pawsitive Friendships was established in 2014 by Tosha Tharp-Gaitanis, a mother of a son with autism. She discovered that his progress improved by incorporating her French bulldog, Zoe, into his therapy. This became the model of our organization. Our mission is to use the unique bond between individuals with special needs and pets to help them achieve their goals through adaptive activities. We collaborate with special education schools and adult day programs. Contact us to learn how your pet could make a pawsitive impact, whether it’s a dog, cat, pig, mini horse, alpaca, bird, reptile or another pet.
