Your Donation Makes an Impact

Every dollar you donate to The Dog Alliance goes directly towards creating a positive change in the lives of people in our community. With your support, we can continue to offer life-changing programs that bring hope, healing, and joy to those who need it most.

Dog Alliance Therapy Dogs

Our trained therapy dogs provide comfort, healing, and companionship to individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and other community settings. These dogs are a source of emotional and physical support, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, pain, and loneliness.

Dog Alliance Reading Dogs

The Dog Alliance Reading Dogs program encourages children to develop their reading skills by providing a calm and non-judgmental audience—a friendly, attentive dog. This program boosts confidence and helps children improve their literacy.

Service Dogs for Texas Veterans

We train service dogs to assist veterans with PTSD, mobility issues, and other service-related challenges. These dogs are more than companions; they are life-saving partners that enable greater independence and emotional healing.

Support our mission to bring comfort, healing, and hope to our community through all of The Dog Alliance’s life-changing programs.

  • “This is a fantastic group of individuals who help others by providing a service that brings happiness and better health to those in need. My dog, Rex, and I are a volunteer registered Therapy team. We visit people in the hospital, nursing homes, schools, etc. There are many heart-warming stories for which we have been privileged to be a part thanks to all the efforts by the staff at Austin Dog Alliance.”

  • “My dog Bailie has been involved in the pet therapy for over six years with The Dog Alliance. She has worked in both predictable and complex therapy. Some of the jobs that she has held include working with senior citizens, Bow wow reading with kids, special needs kids (autism, down syndrome) and mentally challenged adults. The dog alliance is awesome. I don’t know how Bailie would be able to help people the way that she does without an organization as supportive as the dog alliance. Our next challenge is going to be helping suicidal veterans if we can find an outlet to do that.”

  • “The Dog Alliance is a terrific group. My dog and I first took a Therapy Dog training class and after qualifying we have been visiting nursing homes for over 10 years. With my other dog, a young very frisky one, we have been taking training classes. The classes are so fun for both of us that we have taken lots of them over the years. And, the young frisky one is now a really well behaved very social good dog. The teachers at the Dog Alliance are the BEST.”

  • “As an educator, I value the Bow Wow Therapy Dog program and the volunteers and dogs who serve our students. The therapy dogs absolutely motivate the students to become better readers! The volunteers encourage and guide the students through the process of sounding out words and being able to recall what they read. The team that visits our school also provides stress relief interactions at the local high school. Overall, it’s amazing the difference these volunteers and their trained dogs provide to our community!”
