...Our
mission is to enrich the lives of seniors and children that need a little one-on-one
attention that only a "four-legged" healer can provide. Right now we visit all
of the facilities, from Palm Springs to Indio, that cater to the needs of the
elderly, sick or infirmed. We also visit children who need the special attention
of a pet therapist. |

...In
addition to visitations, our goal is to educate the children in our area on
the importance of humane treatment of companion animals, the importance of obedience
training, and the importance of giving back to others by sharing our pets with
those in need. (Volunteerism) |

It is always been a goal of "Paws & Hearts"
to assist in placing shelter animals in loving homes. Two reasons: One, we
are helping to get a dog or cat out of a shelter and into a hopefully positive
home environment, and two, there is always the chance that a future Canine
or Kitty Ambassador is in the making. |

There
is one shelter that we endorse and that is The Pet Rescue Center in Indio. Christine
Madruga is the Director of this NOT FOR PROFIT, NO KILL SHELTER and together
with her assistant Jean Landes and a group of dedicated volunteers, they are
cutting down on the senseless euthenization of adoptable dogs and cats in the
valley. |

...Ultimately
our vision for the future is to increase the number of visits to each facility
(to a minimum of twice a week), to visit smaller board and care facilities,
and to visit homebound residents in the area to provide only the therapy and
love that a companion animal can provide. |
