Therapy animals promote the human-animal bond by bringing comfort, affection and joy in schools, workplaces, hospitals, hospices, assisted living facilities and even those recovering from a crisis event.
Therapy animals have proven to enhance emotional well-being and positively contribute to social and cognitive health.
Please support us in sponsoring therapy animal training to enable more people to train with their animals to become a therapy animal team. Animals accepted for therapy are Cats, Dogs, Miniature Horses, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Rats, Birds, Pigs, Llama or Alpacas.
We are looking to be able to increase the therapy animal teams we have so that we can offer more visits to make lives better.
Right now we want to have more teams be able to visit the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport, hospice and corporate events.
The human-animal bond (HAB) is a mutually beneficial relationship between humans and animals. Animal-assisted interventions exist because of the power of the bond which has beneficial psychological and physiological outcomes for participants. While we often focus on the benefit to humans receiving AAI, it’s important to remember that animals also experience benefit from their relationship with humans. It has been found that companionship and social support helps pets and animals live longer, healthier lives.
HELP US SPONSOR A TEAM
Once the team is registered, they can visit locations that we already serve such as the Atlanta Airport, Nursing homes, School, Hospitals, Hospice and other locations. For our program we can help match you with the right animal. If an animal other than a dog our classes will be based on a one-on-one program schedule and there will be an additional training fee based on the animal that will be involved with the training.
