TheraPaw is an online platform and mailing system to help adults experiencing any form of mental health issues and connect them with adult dogs in shelters. My deliverables include a mailing box that matches the personality of the matched dog to the user. The box's features include a profile card of the dog, a t-shirt, a bandana, a new version of the dog's favorite toy, a frisbee, a tote bag, and sometimes the dog's favorite treats. TheraPaw also has a website with the questionnaire, "paw-files" of the dogs, and opportunities to watch the dogs live on camera. This organization aims to promote the health benefits of animal interactions by matching a person to a dog in a local shelter.

This project is dedicated to Ziggy, one of the dogs that can be found within this platform that I created as my senior Capstone project at Thomas Jefferson University. I had known Ziggy for five years and he was a giant loving dog that enjoyed getting attention and the outdoors. Ziggy turned 13 on November 15, 2022, and passed away at home on November 17, 2022.
