Mission

Roxy(tm) Therapy Dogs is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit. Our programs provide an irreplaceable, dependable support system for children in Central Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Our trained and certified therapy dogs deliver self-esteem, relief from anxiety and fear, and a sense of well-being. To a child who feels safe and relaxed, learning is accessible, and both physical and emotional healing are accelerated.

Roxy(tm) has five programs that take place in public schools, healthcare facilities, and the courthouse.

We are 100% dependent on donations to help us reach children who need the comfort and support of a Roxy therapy dog.
