More Than Just Lovable Pups

Our therapy animal teams work with nine different types of furry and feathered friends, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, rats, pigs, and llamas and alpacas! Facilities can benefit from the unique healing offered by our diverse species. Interacting with animals can significantly improve cognitive functioning by stimulating memory and focus. Especially beneficial for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, interacting with therapy dogs and other therapy animals is a holistic approach to improving senior well-being.
