Spokane HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response is a all-volunteer crisis response organization with specially trained and certified handler/canine teams serving the Inland Northwest as part of the national organization. We provide comfort and support to people affected by disasters, usually in the recovery phase.  Scientific evidence has shown animals are a positive factor in helping people cope with traumatic events.
