We are group of volunteers, dedicated to bringing smiles to nursing homes, hospices, hospitals and schools in South Florida through registered pet therapy dogs.  All dog/handler teams are tested and members of Therapy Dogs, Inc. a national organization out of Wyoming.   Therapy Dogs, Inc. is the only national testing organization requiring at least three observed visits, which is helpful in assuring that you and your dog are comfortable with all aspects of visitations. 

There is NEVER a charge for therapy dog testing. There are NO membership fees required to join Paws for Smiles™.  

Paws for Smiles, is a 501 (c) (3) Florida registered Not for Profit Charitable Organization. All donations are tax deductible.

We would like to thank Memorial Manor in Pembroke Pines for graciously allowing us to test potential therapy dogs at their facility.

This is the definition of unconditional love!
