A Bit About Us
Dogs and People - A Proven Prescription for Healing
In 2016, the idea of Healing Pause began as dream of Nathan Rostov, a notion, a longing to give back for the blessings he had received after many years of providing service to others in other capacities. In 2017, a moment to plant the first seed was before Nathan and thus Healing Pause was born.
"Growing up I had purpose bred dogs; they possess the intrinsic qualities to be therapy dogs; sound temperament, intelligence, focus, train-ability and big hearts. It has become a dream turned reality and a passion of mine; to bring the healing touch of purpose bred dogs to those in need." - Nathan D Rostov, Founder
As Healing Pause has grown in leaps and bounds, our mission has come into focus as we team up with other industry professionals in bringing our passion to the next level.

Founder and Director
Nathan Rostov
Nathan’s passion for all animals, great or small, began as a child. He quickly realized through a childhood of working with animals the impact they could have on people's lives both emotionally and intellectually.
His other passions are social impact and philanthropy. Altruistic soul. Relationships. Music, Fashion, Art & Ornithology aficionado.
The idea to bring the healing qualities of dogs to those in need was formed and Healing Pause began. A conversation with someone who said, “my dog got me through some of the darkest times” confirmed it.
Nathan quickly discovered that reputable organizations have different pathways to accepting dog donations, so after much research and conversations it was evident that it needed to be a whole turn key package to meet his goals as well as the prospective organizations.
Opportunities to make this mission a reality came and with each donation there is always an opportunity to learn and refine the model to what it is now. Taking a leap and following destiny to follow his dream.
