WHO WE ARE
Heeling House, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non profit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of children with special needs through the use of Animal Assisted Interactions. Founded in 2013, Heeling House is a firm believer in the healing power of animals, specifically when it comes to children.
​
The natural bond between children and animals is undeniable. We've seen firsthand how life-changing that bond can be: helping developmentally delayed children take their first steps, speak their first words, and giving young adults the courage to integrate themselves into the community after years of seclusion. With the use of our therapy and service dogs, we're proud to take the power of that human animal bond to help children reach their full potential.
