PENNY’S FROM HEAVEN FOUNDATION is an elite group of well-trained, exceptional working therapy dogs, leaving paw prints in healthcare facilities and lives. Our therapy dogs provide services to our returning wounded servicemen and women, children testifying to sexual and physical abuse, hospice patients, children’s hospitals, adult hospitals, the court house, retirement homes, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, bone marrow transplant clinics, and these therapy dogs are present at our soldier’s deployments and Yellow Ribbon ceremonies. They are often the silver lining in hostile places and faces.

A special group of our working therapy dogs also provide one-on-one therapeutic intervention and Solution Focused Therapeutic intervention (SFT) in rehabilitation settings, using the dogs as a modality to reach a specific goal or expectation with a patient. These therapy dogs and situations are under the guidance of healthcare professionals (occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech therapists and neuropsychologists) and the handlers with about a 99% success rate. The results become part of the patient’s medical records.

Another elite group of our therapy dogs are PTSD Support Dogs, affording comfort and support to our returning wounded with PTSD and TBI. These working therapy dogs are selected and trained for this specific purpose. Through recognition, education, acceptance, treatment and support Penny’s From Heaven Foundation is promoting the use and benefits of trained working therapy dogs with posttraumatic stress patients.

Our working therapy dogs are trained to assist with depression, fine and gross motor coordination, trunk and shoulder stability, motivation, confidence, balance, speech, memory skills, problem solving, distraction from pain, walking difficulties, identification of naming objects, following directions, attention to task and much more.

Penny’s From Heaven Foundation has the first therapy dogs in the area that are part of neuro-psychology group support sessions with head injury patients. It is in these sessions that breakthroughs often occur in the presence of these remarkable therapy dogs.

The Penny’s From Heaven extraordinary group of working therapy dog teams are proud to be affiliated with the Soldiers’ Angels program, The Fisher House, The Warrior Family Support Center, Operation Homefront, Chaplain’s Soldiers’ Angels, K-9 Soldiers’ Angels, U.S. War Dogs, Fort Sam Houston Elementary School, and Camps Mabry, Swift and Bullis.

Penny's from Heaven Foundation working therapy dogs are also on "High Alert" with Soldiers' Angels to assist incoming wounded warriors with severe depression and to offer aid and comfort wherever it is needed with the families of the soldiers.
