🎃 This Halloween, Ranger wasn’t just wearing a costume; he was wearing a thousand smiles while hanging out with his fellow therapy dog friends at Flamingo Flea's October Puppy Brunch! 🦇

Cute moments like these remind us that therapy dogs and their handlers give so much of themselves to others, so it’s just as important that they take time to relax, rest, and recharge. 🐾

Even our bravest heroes need moments of comfort. 💜

Therapy dogs, like Chico & Chase, offer more than moments of laughter and joy; they reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, reduce cortisol, ease tension, and encourage smiles. Visits like these remind our Veterans and Service Members they are seen, supported, and never alone in their service or their sacrifice.

Honor a Veteran or Service Member today by joining Chico's Challenge, where your donation could be matched! DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT & donate today. 🐾

🎃👩‍⚕️ Dr. Charli is making rounds! 👩‍⚕️🎃

Charli and her amazing handler Kim brought smiles and snuggles to the kids and nurses at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital last week — dressed in Charli’s adorable Halloween costume as Dr. Charli! 🩺🐾

Whether it’s kisses or tail wags, Dr. Charli knows just what the patients need. Her prescription? One dose of love, two doses of fluff, and unlimited cuddles.

Thank you to our incredible volunteers for spreading joy and healing through the power of paws.

A quiet afternoon turns into something special when Chico's friend, therapy dog Aibo, joins a group of seniors for the afternoon. 🐾

Moments like these foster a sense of comfort and connection to those needing it most. With that in mind, C.A.T. therapy teams have a beautiful way of easing loneliness, calming anxious hearts, and spreading joy throughout our community.

YOUR donation helps make these visits possible, and some will even be matched through Chico’s Challenge until the end of the year! 🎉🎉

Thanks to the continued support of our friends at Brown & Brown, therapy dogs like Jackson have been making meaningful connections all across our community this year.

From helping struggling students build confidence and improve their reading skills, to comforting children with disabilities, to sparking joyful memories for seniors in memory care, Jackson’s visits bring love, healing, and hope wherever he goes.

We’re so grateful for community supporters like Brown & Brown for supporting Jackson's work during 2024–2025. Because of their generosity, visits like these are possible. 💜

Happy Boss’s Day to our incredible leader, Monica Wesolowski! 💯

Monica isn’t just our Executive Director, she’s the driving force behind our growth and impact. Her journey with C.A.T. began in the most meaningful way. While working as an executive at the Sun Sentinel, Monica invited our dogs to comfort her team after a traumatic event. That experience left a lasting impression and a spark was lit.

A lifelong animal lover, Monica didn’t stop at gratitude. She rolled up her sleeves and volunteered with us. Fast forward a few years later, today, she leads our organization with the same compassion, innovation, and dedication that first brought her to C.A.T.

Under Monica’s leadership, we’ve grown in reach, impact, and heart. She supports our staff, uplifts our volunteers, and inspires our entire community. She’s conscientious, motivating, and always leads with love.

🐾 Monica, thank you for being the kind of leader who listens, who cares, and who makes every day better for us, for people, and for pups alike. We’re so lucky to have you. 💜

Last weekend, Bailey and her handler, Vickie, Pearl and her handler, Julie, and Dalton Wade and his handler William proudly represented Canine Assisted Therapy, Inc. (CAT) at the NAMI Broward Walk at Nova Southeastern University!

It was heartwarming to see how many walkers lit up when they met the therapy dogs! Whether it was a quick cuddle, a smile, or a moment of calm, Bailey and our fellow volunteers helped bring comfort and joy to so many people.

Thank you for letting us share the healing power of pet therapy with the community!
