HOPE AACR gives Comfort in Times of Crisis by bringing emotional support with their specially-trained dog and handler teams. Our own offices were visited by their wonderful teams (and adorable dogs!) recently after the sudden loss of one of our co-workers.
Ari Hoffman speaks to Raquel Lackey and Molly Fisher about the great work they do and how you can help support their mission.

Animal Teams Trained for Comfort in Times of Crisis
HOPE’S Mission: To provide comfort and encouragement through animal-assisted support to individuals affected by crises and disasters.
HOPE AACR has been serving people affected by disasters and traumatic events, free of charge, since 2001.
All donations and support go towards defraying costs associated with training and certifying new crisis teams, developing training programs and materials, and helping to reduce the out of pocket expenses our members incur when they deploy.
HOPE AACR is on a mission to expand its positive impact and establish strong partnerships that enable us to do even more.
HOPE Can Help Bring Comfort
Hope Animal-Assisted Crisis Response is prepared to lend assistance to relief organizations by sending Certified Animal-Assisted Crisis Response teams where you need them most. They have experienced teams consisting of canines and handlers that are trained and tested to be able to respond under the stresses of crisis response work. HOPE AACR teams are ready to work side by side with you. All HOPE AACR members are insured under a $2 million dollar general liability policy, background checked, and never self-deploy.
Local or National, HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response is ready to help!
