Pet Assisted Wellness at Stanford (PAWS)

Pet Assisted Wellness at Stanford

Pet Assisted Wellness at Stanford (PAWS) is an animal visitation program for patients, families, and staff in the hospital. Our well-trained, carefully selected dogs visit patients who would enjoy a friendly companion.  PAWS dogs also support staff by bringing joy to their workday.
