Have Your Hometown Proclaim April 30 National Therapy Animal Day
Government officials in many cities, counties, and states across America are often happy to pass an annual official proclamation recognizing April 30 as National Therapy Animal Day.
Ask your local officials to celebrate therapy animals, whether you are a volunteer therapy animal team, or someone who has benefitted from therapy animals in their personal life. These proclamations bring public attention to the benefits of interactions with therapy dogs and other therapy animals. They also let people in your community know about the many places where therapy teams can make a difference, including schools, hospitals, nursing homes, police or fire stations, courtrooms, and more!
