3 History Gabriel’s Angels is named after our founding therapy dog, Gabriel, and our ‘angels’… the children we serve, our donors, supporters and volunteers. Our organization began in 1999 when Pam Gaber, a volunteer at the Crisis Nursery in Phoenix, took her Weimaraner puppy, Gabriel, to the holiday party dressed as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Something magical happened at that event, as children’s behaviors changed from shyness and anger to kindness and compassion. Gabriel reached the children in a way that surprised and amazed everyone. Pam and Gabriel became registered through Delta Society, and soon a group of owners and dogs came together to form a club to deliver pet therapy. Results with these first children exceeded expectations, as on-site caregivers and social workers quickly confirmed that the children were more empathetic and nurturing to one another. In response to overwhelming community support and encouragement Gabriel’s Angels was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the State of Arizona on May 12, 2000. On January 24, 2001, we were granted our 501(c)(3) status by the Internal Revenue Service retroactive to date of incorporation. Gabriel’s Angels has grown to 155 volunteer Pet Therapy Teams, serving over 120 partner agencies, and reaching over 13,000 children annually in crisis nurseries, domestic violence and homeless shelters, group homes, residential treatment centers and self-contained classrooms in Phoenix and Southern Arizona. Each dog must undergo a registration process and each volunteer must pass the standard security screening required by state law. There is no cost to the participating agency to receive pet therapy visits for their children. Gabriel’s Angels long term goal is to serve the estimated 20,000 children in need in Arizona and become the premier provider of innovative children’s Pet Therapy programs throughout the country.
