Episode 40 – Unleashing Hope: How Animal Therapy Empowers Child Abuse Survivors

Corrina and Krista chat with Toni Shriver of “P.A.W.W.S to HEAL” and how support animals that help children heal who have been abused.

Toni’s Bio:

I’m a Survivor of childhood sexual abuse, have always found comfort with animals. I pursued a career as a Veterinary Technician to give back to animals and have been working as a licensed CVT for the past 35 years.

In 2006 in Madison, Dane County area, I founded PAWWS to Heal, a non-profit which offers animal assisted therapy and animal assisted activity for children victim of child abuse.  It gives me great comfort in changing children’s lives to experience positive living.
I love outdoor hikes, motorcycling, campfires, and any activity with my pets.
