About Namski

Where four-legged friends make a difference

Namski is a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization dedicated to providing compassionate pet therapy services to children with mental and physical disabilities.

We believe in the transformative power of the human-animal bond. Our certified therapy animals and professional handlers work together to bring joy, comfort, and healing to children who need it most.

Through carefully supervised therapy sessions, we help children build confidence, improve motor skills, reduce anxiety, and experience the unconditional love that only a therapy animal can provide.
