All About Pet Therapy and Animal-Assisted Therapy
Pet therapy has a tremendous impact on people’s lives. The unconditional love and support of an animal can help people open up, heal, and make progress in areas of their lives that were once thought to be unreachable.

While some pets are better-suited for placement as therapy pets than others, we value each pet individually and ensure their health is always a top priority.
