Michael’s Angel Paws was founded as a non-profit in 2012 by Bryce and Stephanie Gerken, in memory of their son Michael, who was born prematurely and would have needed a Service Dog to mitigate his disabilities. The Gerken’s chose to devote their energies to H.O.P.E. by H.elping O.thers P.awsitively E.very day. Celebrating its 7th anniversary this year, the organization has graduated 78 service dog teams and over 200 therapy dog teams that bring smiles through waggin’ tails.
“We are so grateful for community partners that give us the opportunity to bring our service dogs to concert venues,” said Stephanie Gerken executive director of Michael’s Angels Paws. “This gives them the valuable experience they need to allow them to be the service dog for their person.”
