Paws for a Cause

Everyone can look back into their past and point to one or two defining moments that forever changed the course of their lives. For Judy Audevard that moment came the day her pet Kizzy opened her eyes and her heart to the incredible healing power of dogs. Judy eventually gave up her successful corporate career to dedicate her life to bringing therapy animals to adults and children suffering from anxiety, tragedy and trauma.  

Judy Audevard is President and Founder of the Hudson Valley Paws for a Cause Pet Therapy Program. This is a 501C3 organization who have over 100 Therapy Dog teams affiliated with them. Her work has been recognized by prominent organizations like the United States Military Academy at West Point and the American Red Cross. She has written a nonfiction children’s book called One Incredible dog Kizzy and co-authored a book called At Your Service. Stories about Therapy Dogs and how they help the people they serve.
