Animal Bonding Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing education, wellness, and community connection through the caring, training, and bonding of animals—especially bunnies—combined with safe, ethical, and innovative technologies.
We believe in the transformative power of human–animal connection. By uniting animal bonding with science and technology, we create meaningful experiences that spark joy, empathy, learning, and community engagement. While our programs often inspire calm and emotional support, we want to be clear: we are not a clinical or mental health provider. Instead, we are an education- and wellness-focused nonprofit using animals and technology as bridges to inspire curiosity, strengthen communities, and foster resilience.
