Be An Angel Therapy Dogs Ministry teams visit two separate Ronald McDonald Houses.  One house on Alden Road on the Florida Hospital campus and the other on Kuhl Avenue on the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children campus.  Both are in Orlando, Florida. 

Ronald McDonald house is a "home-away-from-home" for families with seriously ill children receiving treatment at local hospitals.

Our dog/handler teams meet the families in the living room of the house and the dogs turn on their normal charming personalities and some of the stress and tension melts away for the family members for the time they are spending with the dogs.  It is a safe place where the siblings can play, cuddle, pet and love with the dogs as long as they want.

This experience touches all our hearts on a monthly basis.  These families are very special and very brave while going through their struggles together as a family.

"The dog was created for children.  He is the god of frolic."
