PAWS for People

Transforming Lives Through Pet Therapy

Founded by Lynne Robinson, PAWS for People began with a simple yet profound mission: to harness the healing power of pet therapy. After rescuing Boo Radley, a gentle golden retriever, Lynne discovered the incredible impact that therapy animals can have on individuals in need. This realization led to the establishment of PAWS for People, which has since grown into the largest pet therapy organization in the Mid-Atlantic region, serving Delaware and parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.

Our Programs and Impact

With a commitment to providing individualized visits, PAWS for People offers 24 different types of programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of the community. From helping patients in physical and occupational therapy clinics to providing companionship for those in hospice care, the organization focuses on enhancing the quality of life for individuals through the love of therapy pets. The dedicated volunteers and their gentle animals work tirelessly to bring joy, comfort, and healing to those they visit.
