Our Story

From a young age, I knew my life's work would involve animals.  I've been passionate about the dog world since my childhood- Always learning, growing, and seeking new ways to help our four-legged friends live their best lives.  Animals have always been drawn to me, and I've always understood their unspoken language.  

​

In 2023, I lost my beloved dog Rex.  He was not only my companion but also my greatest teacher.  Through our times together, I gained valuable knowledge and experiences that inspired me to help other dogs and their families.  To honor Rex, I founded PawZ on Therapy-"PawZ" representing both his paw and the Zen to dogs life.  

​

At PawZ on Therapy, my mission is to provide compassionate care, effective wellness support, and services tailored to each dog's unique needs.  Every wagging tail that walks through our doors is treated with the same love, patience, and respect.  Helping more pawZ live happy, healthy lives is not just my career- It's my calling!
