About Us
Furry Friends Pet Assisted Therapy Services is the South Bay's oldest all-volunteer organization devoted to bringing the healing power of animals to those less fortunate in our community. Furry Friends' mission is to consistently facilitate the delivery of the love and affection of our volunteers and their pets. We enhance the lives and touch the hearts of people with special needs.
Furry Friends is a California non-profit organization that relies on the community for support; all donations are tax-deductible. Taxpayer Identification Number 77-0029127.
We accept both youth and adult volunteers and encourage pet-owners from all backgrounds to join. While dogs are our most popular animals, we welcome other pets such as cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and even mini horses!
All Volunteer Organization
Our animal therapy teams volunteer at a variety of sites, including schools, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, corporate events, and more. These sites are scattered all across the South Bay from Palo Alto to Morgan Hill.
A Legacy of 1,000 Sites
