B.A.R.K. program
Support a program that brings therapy dogs and students together to strengthen student wellbeing during one of the most stressful and isolating stages of adult life.
Last year, B.A.R.K. tracked more than 6,000 on-campus interactions between therapy dogs and students. Thanks to donors, several cornerstone programs are available both on and off campus, spreading the healing power of therapy dogs to students, children and community members throughout the city.
Your gift will help B.A.R.K. continue its remarkable impact by supporting coordination and training of therapy dogs and their handlers, facilitation of sessions and outreach programs and ongoing, meaningful interactions and emotional support for students.
Help keep tails wagging and students thriving. Make your Giving Day gift to B.A.R.K. today to strengthen student wellbeing through connection and canine companionship.
