PAWS Therapy Teams Really Are Amazing!

PAWS Therapy Teams Really Are Amazing!
2013 Annual Report
Our Mission:
To lovingly provide elders, children,
and folks with disabilities individualized,
therapeutic visits with a gentle,
affectionate pet.
Our Vision:
To reach greater numbers of people
and more diverse populations through
one-on-one directed visits so that
more people can enjoy the healing
benefits of pet therapy.
The Organization
PAWS for People™ (PAWS) is the region’s largest provider of pet therapy. Driven by the belief that true medical
and educational benefits stem from pet therapy, PAWS strives to be the best in its field. We provide therapeutic
visits to any person in the community who would benefit from interaction with a well-trained, loving pet. Teams
consist of one volunteer and one pet (usually dogs, but sometimes cats or bunnies) who, after undergoing rigorous
training and testing, commit to making therapeutic visits at least twice a month at a partnering site. From nursing
homes and hospitals to substance abuse centers and schools for children with disabilities, thousands of people of
all ages are experiencing the benefits of one-on-one therapeutic visits thanks to over 400 dedicated members.
PAWS designed the Standards of Excellence test (STEX) and requires all therapy teams complete high-level training. This ensures all teams are well-equipped to meet the individual needs and desires of the people they visit
- whether it be an Alzheimer’s patient seeking comfort and camaraderie or a school child struggling with reading.
PAWS teams do so much more than visit. As one volunteer commented, “I am part of a caring, compassionate
organization which supports and trains teams to bring love, life, and encouragement to diverse groups in our
community.”

Executive Director’s Message: PAWS Therapy Teams Really Are Amazing!
Pet-Assisted Therapy is becoming cutting edge in the world of human
services. Where once our value was not fully understood and often
considered entertainment by activities directors in elder care facilities,
times have changed for the better. PAWS for People’s goal to become
recognized in our community as being a therapeutic service, vital to
the well-being of several at-risk populations and diverse groups of
people in need remains valid and reachable eight years into our
existence.
“The only word I can use to best describe
the visit as evidenced by staff who attended
is ‘WOW.’ Not to sound too corny, but
Sundance brought sun into a day of the lives
of our men and women, and tears, yes tears,
into the eyes of several staff.”
- Pete Dakunchak, COO, Chimes, Delaware
PAWS is proud to now be invited to places like mental health facilities
because their staff understands the positive impact our therapy pets
can have on their clients. We have started a brand new program
at Nemours/AI duPont Hospital for Children where we visit with the people in outpatient
clinics, comforting the frightened, providing distraction from pain and fear, and reaching out to
patients and staff alike to bring smiles to their faces and joy to their day. We work with Departments of Health and Social Services to assist their counselors with children in the foster care
system and outpatient drug and alcohol recovery.
While PAWS is always striving toward improved services for clients, we feel a great responsibility toward our therapy team volunteers, as well – to offer them the best training possible, to
provide support and encouragement, to be responsive to their needs and concerns, and always to
make available new types of visits to keep our members interested, challenged, and improving
their skills. We are so proud of our AMAZING Pet Therapy Teams!
PAWS has been blessed with a marvelous staff that works hard and loves working with the folks
we see and hear from every day, a board of directors that cares and offers their guidance, and
marvelously loving and friendly pets who continue to amaze us with their wisdom and surprise
us with their insights, not to mention the 300 or so human members of PAWS who spend their
time and share their pets so others can have a happier life.
Thanks to everyone for sharing their gifts of time, talent, and financial donations to support our
mission and our growth. Yes… 2013 has been an amazing year for PAWS…and the coming
year looks even better!

PAWS FOR CHILDREN: Efforts focused towards children ages 6 months to 18 years
PAWS for Reading
PAWS teams provide opportunities for children to read aloud in a non-threatening, positive environment
with a trained therapy pet and handler. In libraries, we welcome readers of all ages; in schools, we target
grades K-5. Reading to a gentle, non-judgmental pet helps children improve their reading and communication skills. The children enjoy the sessions and parents and teachers see the improvement in literacy skills
as well as an increased interest and enthusiasm for reading. In 2013, we expanded this program to include
PRE-K PAWS dedicated to introducing children as young as one year old to reading-readiness skills.
Autism Initiative
Autism is a spectrum disorder that affects children uniquely so each child must be approached differently.
PAWS teams work with the on-site instructors and therapists to address the goals of each child’s IEP. For
children ages 3-18 who have difficulty relating to humans, interaction with animals is the perfect half-step
for learning to connect with others. Working on trust, interpersonal communication, and social skills, our
therapy teams can be woven into the curriculum in any number of creative ways to make the “work” more
fun and comfortable.
Children with Special Needs/Crossover
Visiting with children in facilities including the Delaware School for the Deaf, UD Early Learning Center, Exceptional Care for Children, Nurses n’ Kids, Terry Psychiatric Center, and High Roads School, our
teams follow the directives of the on-site professionals and encourage, motivate, and make difficult tasks
more bearable. In 2013, we also began visiting at Nemours/AI du Pont Hospital for Children.
PAWS FOR ADULTS AND THE ELDERLY
Hospitals
Our volunteer teams are invited by several hospitals to bring their patients, visitors, and staff a welcome
diversion or a moment of comfort during a dark or scary time. We visit eleven units in Christiana Care
(Newark), four units in Christiana Care (Wilmington), four units in Union Hospital, Physical Therapy and
hospice at St. Francis Hospital, and several chemotherapy labs at Helen F. Graham Cancer Center. Working
with children, our teams visit Exceptional Care for Children and the radiation unit at Helen Graham as well
as visit at numerous sites throughout Nemours/AI du Pont Hospital for Children. We are also a welcome
presence at Kent General Hospital.
Assisted Living
When people are not living in their own homes any longer, loneliness and depression can be a significant
concern. Our teams make individual room visits and many residents enjoy walking, playing, or affectionately talking with the dog and its handler. The companionship, communication, and activity is a welcome
highlight to many of our older neighbors’ days.
Thinking Outside the Box
Pet visits often reach Alzheimer’s patients when people cannot. Our teams generate memories and smiles
and often motivate walking and listening as well as bringing kindness and companionship. The magic of
the pet-human connection is most evident in this type of visit.

Skilled Care
Much like a hospital setting, a skilled care facility presents a pet therapy team with challenges of visiting
people in their beds, the noises of ventilators, lots of wheelchairs, and nursing staff on call 24 hours a day.
Therapy teams are needed in skilled care facilities to help people stave off boredom, brighten their days, and
give them some comfort and maybe a little escape from the daily issues of their illness.
Cancer Treatment
PAWS teams find that sitting with new, frightened chemo patients or those who have returned for additional
treatment is extremely therapeutic and soothing. We visit smaller oncology labs and cancer patients in our
hospitals. Sometimes people feel more comfortable telling our pets what they are afraid to tell another human.
We’ve been told that having a pet helps people feel more normal and less marginalized.
Hospice
Working in partnership with both Willow Tree Hospice and Compassionate Care Hospice, we provide pet
therapy training and certification, while the hospices provide volunteers and schedule the visits. The dogs
bring comfort to hospice patients and their families and are a warm, loving support during this emotionallydraining transitional period.
MENTAL WELLNESS & PHYSICAL DISABILITIES
PHYSICAL & OCCUPATIONAL
THERAPIES
This program includes varying levels of disabilities such as PT/OT/Speech-Language Therapy, neurohealth,
drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health programs. Teams work directly with therapists to assist the
clients’ progress. In addition to love and comfort that our pets freely give, they also provide motivation in
trying new movements, working longer, and enjoying the activities. In residential treatment centers there is
unstructured time when the patients can relax with our pets and get the love and attention they may be missing.
SOCIAL SERVICES
This program was created in answer to requests for specialized, one-on-one visits by our therapy teams. It may
mean helping a bi-polar teenager accept the loss of a beloved family pet. It may mean going to the home of a
young girl struggling with severe autism or being a healing component to a woman battling with OCD issues.
We receive requests for private therapy visits through PAWS by Special Requests.
• Nursing Homes
• Hospitals
• Clinics
• Cecil County, MD
PAWS BY SPECIAL REQUEST
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
PAWS has teamed with Cecil County, Maryland’s Department of Social Services to offer PAWS by Special
Request visits to the Department’s numerous programs. The Department works with women and children who
have been in abusive situations (sexually or otherwise), as well as in the court system and with foster care
children.
DE-STRESS SESSIONS
Visiting college students during exam time provides a welcome break during the intensity of the school year.
Teams spend time on campus and invite students to take a break from their studies and visit, cuddle and receive
some furry encouragement from our therapy animals.

PAWS for People is a tax-exempt charitable organization as defined by Section 501(c)3 of the Internal revenue Code. The 2013 Financial Summary above is extracted
from the 2013 Financial Statements and Accountant’s Review Report compiled by Albero, Kupferman, & Associates, LLC. A copy is available on request.
Education & Training
To maintain our position as the area leader in animal-assisted therapy, we place emphasis on
training our volunteer members so they are equipped and prepared to help those we serve. This
means we have program-specific training as well as continual evaluation of the levels of training
we offer. Industry experts in health care, education, and social services guide the education we
provide our therapy teams.
We offered the following educational/training opportunities:
• Traditional
• Autism
• Advanced
• Advanced Autism
• Masters Certification
• Psychiatric Support
• PAWS for Reading
• Thinking Outside the Box
• PAWS for Reading Plus
• Social Services
• Pre-K PAWS for Reading
Membership & Volunteer Hours
In 2013:
therapy teams joined PAWS.
• 387 therapy teams were active visitors.
• 64% live in DE, 11% live in MD, 6% live in
NJ, and 19% live in PA.
• 152
We also conducted two educational conferences during the year, one focused on PAWS for Reading
support and one on more general topics for traditional visiting teams. The workshops were designed
to educate our therapy teams, expand the audience for pet therapy, bring together different members
of the wide world of animal-assisted therapy, and further the use of pet therapy in our society.

Growth in Volunteer Hours
Volunteer Appreciation Event
An opportunity to gather all PAWS members and their therapy companions together at one time,
our volunteer appreciation celebration allows us to thank our volunteers and recognize their outstanding dedication with awards, prizes, and refreshments.
Jingle Bell Brunch
Our “dressiest” fundraiser falls at the beginning of the holiday season, offering a buffet, our best
silent auction and raffle items, and a chance to mix and mingle with PAWS members and members
of the public who love pets and want to support our programs.
Easter Bone Hunt
Based on the traditional people-oriented Easter Egg Hunt, our Easter Bone Hunt welcomes everyone in the community to bring their pups and kids to hunt for doggie treats and prizes in a woodsy
setting.
BBC Guest Bartender Event
This was our second year for this light-hearted event held at the BBC Tavern & Grille in Greenville, DE. Guest bartenders engaged in a friendly competition to be the highest tip earner while
baskets of cheer were raffled, the Pooch Smooch Booth was busy, and old and new friends came
out to support PAWS for People.

Communication & Development
Informing the general public and potential supporters about PAWS’ many activities and attracting community
participation in those endeavors are important components of PAWS’s success. Communication and
Development staff coordinated efforts to accomplish these goals.
Having visibility in the community is a way to support local organizations and businesses and to reach new
members of our community. We welcome inquiries and attract many new therapy teams at these venues. We
attended many events including:
• University of Delaware ‘De-Stress” with PAWS for People during exam times
• DFRC Blue - Gold Game
• Helen Graham Cancer Center - “Day of Hope”
• Newark Community Day & Newark Day
• Point-to-Point
• Holiday Greeting at Christiana and Union Hospitals
• NASCAR’s Walk for Autism
• Various Health Care Awareness events at Christiana and Wilmington Hospitals
• Delaware Air National Guard Deployments and Returns
• Dementia Conference
• Sexual Assault Awareness Conference
• Martin Luther King Day
• Delaware Humane Association - Walk for the Animals
“I am part of a caring, compassionate organization which supports and trains teams to
bring love, life, and encouragement to diverse
groups in our community.”
- Denise Lopes, PAWS Member
The focus of the development program in 2013 was to expand our individual funding base, to collaborate
with businesses, and to broaden our level of foundation support. The PAWS for People Eric Altemus
Memorial Fund continues to thrive at the Delaware Community Foundation and received two contributions
during the year.
In response to the challenge grant issued to PAWS by the Longwood Foundation in 2012, we were able to
successfully raise the $18,633 needed to ensure Longwood’s support. As a result, our Mental Wellness program is well underway and we are able to address the many ways we can help this portion of our community.
We partnered with Hillside Oil Heating & Cooling to work with them throughout the year to promote their
support of PAWS and to welcome their year-round donations. Additionally, PetSmart selected PAWS as the
local recipient of their annual PetSmart Gives Back $5,000 grant. For the first time, PAWS applied for support from the State of Delaware’s grant in aid program and received $5,000.
Other grants received during the year included:
• BlackRock Foundation
• Borkee Hagley Foundation
• Christmas Shop Foundation
• City of Newark
• Dansko Foundation
• Delaware Community Foundation
• DE Foundation for Reaching Children
with disAbilities (DFRC)
• Laura J. Niles Foundation
• Longwood Foundation
• Lorelton Foundation
• Morgan Stanley Foundation
• PetSmart
• Planet Dog Foundation
• State of Delaware
• Wilmington Flower Market
“PAWS volunteers have been providing pet
therapy to our patients since 2008 and I
consider it one of the most valuable volunteer
services at our facility.”
