Pawsitive Recovery launched a 2026 program pairing addiction recovery patients with temporary pet fosters to promote healing and responsibility.

Pawsitive Recovery, a nonprofit organization, has launched a program in early 2026 to connect individuals in addiction recovery with temporary pet fosters. The initiative aims to support emotional healing and accountability by providing companionship through animals, helping participants build routine and responsibility during recovery. The program is expanding across several U.S. states, partnering with local shelters and recovery centers to match foster pets with individuals in treatment.
