Hassenfeld has partnered with the non-profit organization The Good Dog Foundation to provide pet therapy to patients and family members on a weekly basis.

The Hassenfeld Center partners with The Good Dog Foundation because all pet therapy teams (an adult and animal volunteer team) complete thorough professional training, earn certification, and are supervised.

Pet therapy offers patients and family members an incredibly rich therapeutic and healing experience. Visiting with a trained pet therapy dog helps children and adults alike relax, feel calmer, and express their feelings.

Through pet therapy Hassenfeld patients are lucky to experience the joy of a human-animal bond with a very experienced pet therapy team.
