At Faithful Paws, we believe in the power of the human-animal bond. For 28 years and counting, our trained volunteer teams—each consisting of a dedicated handler and their well-trained pet—have visited hospitals, schools, nursing homes, libraries, and more throughout the Greater Houston area, offering comfort, connection, and unconditional love to those who need it most.

When you visit our booth at the show, you’ll have the chance to:

  • Meet our members and their certified therapy pets
  • Learn more about our mission and the impact of pet therapy
  • Talk one-on-one with our leadership team about how to become a member or how to bring therapy visits to your facility
  • Get answers to your questions about the application and training process
  • Hear real stories of joy and healing from volunteers who’ve experienced it firsthand
