If you know of organizations or individuals who align with our mission and may be interested in partnering with us, we’d love to hear from you!

HOPE Can Help Bring Comfort

Hope Animal-Assisted Crisis Response is prepared to lend assistance to relief organizations by sending Certified Animal-Assisted Crisis Response teams where you need them most. We have experienced teams consisting of canines and handlers that are trained and tested to be able to respond under the stresses of crisis response work. HOPE AACR teams are ready to work side by side with you. All HOPE AACR members are insured under a $2 million dollar general liability policy, background checked, and never self-deploy.
