About the Furry Angels… 


The "FURRY ANGELS" is a local chapter of "BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL THERAPY DOGS"  visiting facilities in Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex and Burlington County.  We provide "Read to a Dog" programs at schools and libraries, and provide comfort to patients in hospitals, long term care and acute care facilities.   

Therapy Dog handlers are volunteers who have trained their dogs under the guidance of Sharon Gaboff from ENCHANTED PAWS TRAINING & GROOMING in Freehold.  The dog and handler work as a team and are required to pass a test to become Certified and Insured with BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL THERAPY DOGS  in Morris Plains, NJ.  

We have several teams that have been providing volunteer service at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst since 2010.  The dogs visit adults and children at various facilities on the base.  The dogs are a welcomed sight to troops returning from deployment.  

Many Furry Angels are rescues from Adopt-a-Pet in Freehold.  For rescue or training information please contact Sharon at 732-462-5184.
