Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) Golden Retrievers

Join Canine Concierge Corporation in Unleashing Hope through Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT)

Introduction:

Welcome to Canine Concierge Corporation's GoFundMe page! We are overjoyed to introduce our community-based nonprofit organization and share our mission with you. At Canine Concierge Corporation, we believe in the incredible healing power of animals, and we're dedicated to making a significant difference. Join us in providing free animal-assisted therapy (AAT) services to the Fairfax County, VA community and honoring the memory of our founder's beloved dog.

Why We Exist:

Our journey began with a heart-wrenching incident that forever changed our founder's life. A shelter mistake led to the untimely loss of his perfectly healthy Kuwaiti rescue dog, leaving a deep imprint on his heart. In memory of his cherished companion Leo, Canine Concierge Corporation was born, driven by the determination to ensure that no one else has to endure such heartache. We are on a mission to introduce the transformative power of AAT to those who need it most.

Our Mission:

A simple yet powerful purpose guides Canine Concierge Corporation: to serve the community and enhance lives through AAT. By harnessing the support of generous donors, grants, sponsors, and compassionate individuals like you, we are dedicated to offering free AAT services to hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, senior citizens centers, and police stations in the Fairfax, VA area. We obtained affirmative IRS 501c(3) status, confirming our transparency and accountability.

What We Aim to Achieve:

Raising Awareness: We believe that awareness is the key to promoting the benefits of AAT. Through community outreach programs, educational initiatives, and captivating storytelling, we aim to shine a spotlight on the remarkable transformation therapy animals can bring to individuals facing physical and mental health challenges.

Reversing Insurance Coverage Denials: We are unwavering in our determination to challenge insurance benefit denials that stand in the way of someone receiving the therapy they need. By working alongside insurance providers and policymakers, we strive to reform the system and ensure equitable access to AAT as an integral part of healthcare and wellbeing.

Providing Free AAT Services: We firmly believe that financial barriers should not prevent individuals and institutions from accessing AAT. Your generous contributions will directly support our commitment to providing free AAT sessions, creating positive experiences, and promoting healing for those in Fairfax, VA who may otherwise be unable to access these services.

Join Our Cause:

As we embark on this extraordinary journey to launch our animal-assisted therapy (AAT) dog practice in Fairfax, VA, we warmly invite you to be a part of it. Our goal is to raise $200,008, ($52,000 per quarter), in our launch year to support our mission. Your contribution will have a profound impact through the incredible benefits that AAT can provide – from aiding physical recovery to alleviating stress and anxiety.

We also offer an unbeatable pricing structure for institutions, ensuring accessibility to our services. Donations to Canine Concierge Corporation will cover the costs of sessions, starting at just $200 for a one-hour session, accommodating four or five patients. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those who need it most.
