The Pet Prescription Team is a leader in the field of Animal Assisted Therapy and as such we strive towards enhancing quality of life through the human animal bond. We are an all volunteer certified therapy dog organization who visit local area hospitals, assisted care facilities, rehab facilities, mental health facilities, library programs, hospice, Los Angeles County jails, Los Angeles County Juvenile correctional facilities, United States Attorney General offices and special needs children homes and schools.
The volunteers of the Pet Prescription Team come from every walk of life. We offer therapy dog training classes in Los Angeles & San Diego county. Perspective volunteers and dogs go through an 8 week therapy dog training class which involves training the pet owners and their family pets to make visits. These classes occur inside of a facility, and utilize hands on training to cover how to deal with people and events in various situations that may occur during the therapy visitations.

The Pet Prescription Team (PPT) founded The Faith Dog Project in memory of Brielle Murray and her dog Faith.
Brielle and Faith were members of the PPT and wholeheartedly represented what the PPT was all about, "Healing Hearts Through Pets."
In 2008, Brielle Murray was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) which is a cancerous tumor that develops in the body's soft tissues, usually the muscles.
It can affect the head, neck, bladder, arms and legs.
Cells from these tumors are often fast growing and can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.

Researchers and experts agree that pets excel as therapeutic agents and that dogs are an antidote to depression.
Studies have shown a decrease in both blood pressure and stress levels during therapy dog visits.
A visit from one of our therapy dog teams can break the daily routine, increase overall emotional well-being, and stimulate the mind in dramatic ways.
A Therapy Dog is more than a family pet visiting Aunt Emma at a retirement home or in the hospital.
In the past 16 years since the founding of the Pet Prescription Team we have seen in some healthcare facilities the family pet visiting may be an acceptable practice.
