​​Dixie, with Handlers Keith and Sarah Montgomery at her side, 
demonstrates all requirements qualifying her for animal assisted therapy. H.A.L.O. dogs must demonstrate excellence in temperament, disposition, and obedience not only in a chosen workplace, but at community events as w​ell.

Georgia Grace with Handler, Kelly Rosson, have made their workplace at Will Rogers World Airport. This English Bulldog can open doors toward health like no other, and his visits are awaited with great joy.

"Human Animal Link of Oklahoma speaks to the fact that animals and humans do form relationships of great worth and benefit to both. A non-judgmental force, our pets, can best calm most emotional and physical challenges we might experience. They are quiet in voice, but speak with strength and comfort by presence alone. They are incapable of making false promises as to our welfare. They are forever listening even though we may not make much sense. They offer moments of simple joy and peace, reaching into minds and hearts to communicate with people who just may have shut out the human factor. How quickly they forget our shortcomings and focus on
​our greatest strengths." -Terri Smith

Handler Kim Clements makes the decision where, how often, and in what ways Bobby can contribute to our community as a viable therapeutic resource. Suggestions and recommendations for placement are based on need, desire, and the therapy dog's temperament. Quality visits work to diffuse the most stressful of situations. Bobby seems to know just how to make each day a little less stressful with his perfect form of care and compassion.

H.A.L.O. Foundation follows guidelines for volunteer visits to our partner institutions with all health precautions in place. -Terri Smith, CEO

Dr. Susan Barnes takes Waddy through his first evaluation with the best well wishes from our friends at Lowe's.

Dixie, full of grace and comfort, knows exactly where and how she is needed. 

Abby is always a welcome  
delight wherever she visits. She knows her purpose and has since just a young pup. It's amazing and beautiful to watch a working dog evolve into a magical being of instinct and intuitiveness. 

Qualified Duchess in her engineered environment equals joy and respite for all.
