The foundation undergoes a comprehensive digital transformation — leveraging AI to revamp all 14 network websites, launch HANK (the AI assistant), and save an estimated $1,000,000+ in development costs through internal resourcing and innovation.La fundación experimenta una transformación digital integral — aprovechando la IA para renovar los 14 sitios web de la red, lanzar HANK (el asistente de IA) y ahorrar más de $700,000 estimados en costos de desarrollo.
Named in memory of a beloved French Bulldog, HANK represents TheraPetic's commitment to innovation. HANK is an AI-powered assistant deployed across the entire network — helping visitors understand their rights, navigate service and support animal laws, and find the right resources for their needs. Nombrado en memoria de un querido Bulldog Francés, HANK representa el compromiso de TheraPetic con la innovación.

Developing a custom AI chatbot like HANK would typically cost a nonprofit $75,000 to $150,000 through an outside agency. TheraPetic built it internally using AI-assisted development — at a fraction of the cost.
