About Gabriel's Angels
We believe that the BOND between a therapy dog and a child is strong enough to break the cycle of violence.
Without dedicated volunteers and supporters, 'OUR ANGELS' who share our passion in changing the lives of abused, neglected and at-risk children with Pet Therapy, that bond would not be possible!
