Gateway Center of Monterey
Pacific Grove · adult disability services
John and Gen brought miniature Highlands to Gateway Center for a therapeutic animal visit. Staff and clients gathered on the lawn. This is adult disability programming in practice — one of the Foundation's explicit purposes.

KSBW Action News 8 covered the Gateway Center of Monterey therapeutic visit (June 2026). Local CBS/NBC affiliate coverage is not a paid placement — it is public record that the work is happening in the community.
Accessibility
The ranch path is for everyone
Group visits include guests who use wheelchairs. We plan routes, pacing, and animal introductions so inclusion is visible — not theoretical.
Impact is measured in quiet moments: a first touch, a longer breath, a smile that lasts past the gate.
