Dog-Harmony, Inc. has received an $18,800 donation from 100+ Women Who Care Emerald Coast, a philanthropic group dedicated to making meaningful local impact through collective giving.

  • The fourth-quarter donation will directly support the expansion of Dog-Harmony’s evaluated Therapy Dog Teams across Okaloosa, Walton and Bay counties, allowing more children to benefit from the comfort, confidence and emotional support these volunteer teams provide.

Therapy Dog Teams are essential for Dog-Harmony’s mission to provide literacy and wellness programs, including READing Paws, humane education classes and visits with at-risk youth. 

The donation will also help sustain current Therapy Dog Teams by supporting specialty insurance, handler and dog uniforms, training and essential operational needs that keep the program running safely and effectively.

  • “We are deeply grateful to the members of 100+ Women Who Care Emerald Coast for believing in our mission,” said Nancy Brown, executive director of Dog-Harmony. “Their generosity allows us to reach even more children with the healing presence of Therapy Dogs and helps ensure our teams can continue serving the community with excellence.”

Women interested in joining the local giving circle and supporting local nonprofits can learn more here.
