Meet The PAWS Team

Certified therapy dogs not only reduce stress, depression, and blood pressure, but they also improve self-esteem, increase physical mobility, provide comfort, and eradicate loneliness. When partnered with physicians, therapists, and nurses, animal assisted therapy can also help patients to reach health goals, remain positive and keep motivated. Here at MUSC, our therapy dogs specialize in tail wagging happiness. We appreciate all our incredible volunteer animal therapists.

Certified Therapy Dogs alleviate anxiety in clinical environments and provide more than 11,000 hours of comfort to patients, families & care team members annually. The PAWS (Patient Animal Wellness Service) Team is also participating in several clinical trials to demonstrate how these animals contribute to the improvement of physical, social, emotional, or cognitive functions. To further advance this research, we require funding to establish a Center for Animal Assisted Research (C4AAT). Thank you in advance for your generosity.
