Calling on donors to Lead with Love and support its nationwide Animal-Assisted Impact Programs. The volunteer-run nonprofit empowers community organizations with mentorship, funding, and technology, helping them expand their reach and deepen their impact.
Our prelim 2025, 1 FUR 1 has delivered animal-assisted services to more than 65,100 people in need across 23 states. With over 60 specially trained dogs and mini horses actively working — and a new partner rescuing and training service dogs — the foundation’s programs bring comfort, connection, and healing to children, veterans, and seniors.
The results are measurable and immediate: after just one session, participants experience an 18% improvement in cognitive abilities, a 45% boost in communication skills, and a 62% lift in overall disposition. Most importantly, 100% of participants report positive transformation.
“These aren’t just numbers — they’re lives changed,” said Michelle Djonova, Founder of 1 FUR 1. “Veterans rediscover trust, children with disabilities find their voice, and seniors reconnect with joy.”
As holiday season continues, 1 FUR 1 invites supporters to make tax-deductible donations that fuel the future of healing, hope, and human-animal connection. Contributions today will help the foundation reach even more hearts in 2026.
