Never underestimate the healing power of golden retrievers in perfectly fall-themed pumpkin 🎃 bandanas or a terrier rocking a pink Mohawk. 💗

Join us this Sunday for another SoulPaws® Healing Circle for girls, women, and non-binary individuals who identify with women's communities.

Healing Circles are free, clinician-led support groups powered by the human-animal bond. Alongside licensed therapy animals, we practice tools for mental wellness, self-compassion, and emotional regulation.

Common topics: coping with stress, food and body image concerns, substance use, emotional regulation tools, and more.

📍 San Diego Humane Society, Gaines Campus
5500 Gaines St., San Diego, CA 92110
