Welcome to Buffy's Walk and Play L.A. page (I mean she does all the work:)! 

 

The dog therapy program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is funded entirely by donations. In 2018, our fantastic volunteers and their friends raised over $30,000 through Walk LA to help support the work we do every day to bring comfort, joy and love to patients, families and staff at CHLA.

 

In 2018 , our 135 handler/dog teams visited an average of 1,300 patients every month. In addition, we provided doggy therapy to families, visitors and staff, logging over 89,000 interactions during the year. On April 11, 2019, we held our 4th Annual Dog Therapy Appreciation Day where we celebrated having a least one therapy dog on duty every single day for four years. That's an amazing 1461 days!

 

You can support dog therapy by donating to a help us reach our fundraising goal.

 

We hope you’ll join our Paws for a Cause team at the walk and help support our fundraising efforts with a donation to dog therapy at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Any amount, big or small, will be greatly appreciated and will help bring the benefits of dog therapy to all at CHLA. 

 

Thank you!  xoxo Michelle and Buffy!!!
