Dana Brooks is a dedicated member of the Pet Partners board of directors and a monthly donor. As a professional in the pet industry, Dana has always had a passion for animals and animal-assisted interventions (AAI).
“I learned about Pet Partners after I became the CEO of the Pet Food Institute in 2018. The previous CEO was on the Pet Partners board, and she spoke highly of the organization and invited me to join her for one of their meetings. I was overwhelmed by the passion and commitment of the Pet Partners staff, the therapy rabbit team who visited, and the other directors. When I was asked to fill in for my predecessor on the board, I was thrilled!”
“It is a beautiful experience to see and hear about how a Pet Partners team impacts a person or family in need, whether it is a child learning to read or a lonely senior excited for furry affection. Lives are improved and changed by the Therapy Animal Program.”
“We must grow the number of Pet Partners therapy teams in order to serve more people, communities, and institutions that desperately need and deserve the support of therapy animals. I am truly inspired by our handlers and the pets they partner with and hope to someday become a team with my own pet. Pet Partners is the gold standard and I hope more people and pets volunteer in 2024.”
“Organizations like Pet Partners can only continue to engage in their valuable work when given financial resources. I believe strongly in their mission and what they are doing. Therefore, I felt giving monthly was the right thing to do, and I love that Pet Partners makes it so easy. You can set up automatic donations with your credit card or as a draft from a bank account.”
Pet Partners is thankful for our dedicated donors who help ensure our amazing therapy animal teams reach the people who need our support most. Within our family of supporters is a special group of monthly donors who enable Pet Partners to plan for a brighter future and make more meaningful connections through the unconditional love of therapy animals.
