GABRIEL’S ANGELS Through the life-changing power of pet therapy, Gabriel’s Angels enhances the social and emotional development of vulnerable children. Our work is driven by a passionate belief that the unconditional love of a pet can heal a child. Pet therapy visits to vulnerable children in places like Title I schools, homeless shelters, group homes and behavioral health facilities have a positive impact on helping children heal. Therapy teams, consisting of an owner and their pet, offer unconditional love and teach empathy, respect, confidence and other core behaviors that children might not learn through traditional channels. Our services are free as a direct result of gifts from our donors and volunteers. 727 E. Bethany Home Road, Suite C-100 Phoenix, AZ 85014 HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY 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. There is something very comforting about the unconditional love that pets freely give — not to mention all of the precious cuddles, tail wags and wet kisses! 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. 1510 E.
