Helping Others

In 2024, we celebrated 10 years of helping at-risk nonprofits thrive! With a vision to expand nationwide, 1 FUR 1 network of program partners continues to create meaningful impact. Last year alone, we brought healing to 70,990 people in 21 states, and since our founding, 200,930 animal assisted therapy and activity sessions have been provided—supporting 309,871 individuals in need on their wellness journey.

1 FUR 1 Foundation is made by 100% volunteers on a mission create, nurture and expand therapeutic programs in the U.S.A. Our innovative approach is helping:

• First responders and medical staff overcome burn-out and fatigue while on the job with the help of Newfie therapy dogs
• Autistic children overcome physical and cognitive challenges with encouraging therapy mini horses
• Veterans and their families receive animal assisted intervention as an alternative health care plan
• Dementia and Alzheimer patients whose mood is elevated and positive memories are triggered by interacting with a specially trained animal

1 FUR 1 Foundation, a volunteer run 501(c)(3) charity, measure its impacts by the number of animal assisted therapy and activities sessions provided by the 90 specially trained and certified therapy animals and their handlers. Learn more…
