The comfort of a canine can provide healing in many ways but for children who are facing the scariest situations, dogs can help ease the pain and help bring justice against their abuser. Rady Children's Hospital provides support for abused and neglected children at the Chadwick Center for Children and Families and they want to add new treatment by having their own permanent resident canine on its campuses to help treat vulnerable youth.

Working FUR Kids is an effort to help raise funds in collaboration with the public, to start a Resident Canine Therapy program at Rady Children’s here in San Diego. Please consider making a monetary donation to kickstart this essential program that will help ease the pain and suffering of children who are patients at Rady Children’s Hospital.
