Pawsitive Impact

Using education and enrichment to help both children and pets in our community Our organization was originally founded in 2009 under the name Not Just Animals.

The original mission of Not Just Animals was to change the way people thought about human-animal relationships. The organization continues to build upon the foundation set with Not Just Animals under its new name, Pawsitive Impact. Pawsitive Impact continues to focus on the human-animal relationship by providing animal therapy as an intervention for at-risk youth. Research shows that the bond between dogs and humans is very powerful and a lot can be learned from one another.
