Welcome to the Donation Page of The Humana Canine Campaign
Canines For Kids is a unique Animal Assisted Therapy program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The program began with Casper and his handler, Lisa Kinsel, Manager for Volunteer Services in 2009. It is comprised of 13 full time service dogs on staff aiding the clinical teams in their daily mission to serve patients. These highly sensitive facility dogs are from Canine Assistants, who raise and train service dogs for physical disabilities and other special needs.
The loving, talented therapy dogs at CHOA have many gifts and the benefits reach patients, families, and staff alike.
The Canines for Kids program at Children’s is 100% donor funded. The need continues to grow as CHOA works to care for their current facility dogs as well as meet the increasing demand for inpatient visitations– not only in the hospitals, but expanding to the neighborhood locations around Georgia.
