Inyo-Mono Association for the Handicapped
PAWS 4 Healing
PAWS 4 Healing, a volunteer animal-assisted therapy team, visits IMAH every month. The human-animal health connection has changed the lives of our clients.
It is IMAH’s purpose to provide programs and services to help
the developmentally disabled adults in their quest to move
towards a plan of self-support.
 A new client didn’t want anything to do with the
other clients. She had a bad attitude and was
making life miserable for everyone. On her fourth
day at IMAH PAWS 4 Healing made their monthly visit. As soon as the animals came in the door this young girl was on her hands and knees petting and brushing the animals. This visit dramatically
changed her attitude and life.
Just watching the interaction of the animals and our
special adults touches lives. It’s a special time that
words cannot explain.
