You already know that walking is good for you. The health benefits include increased cardiovascular fitness, reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, stronger bones, and increased muscle strength. Did you also know people who walk with an animal are more likely to meet physical activity recommendations? Imagine the impact you could have by inviting those without pets to walk with you and your therapy animal.
Pet Partners’ Therapy Animal Program represents the best that the field of animal-assisted interventions has to offer. Volunteers in the Therapy Animal Program interact with a wide variety of clients including veterans with PTSD, seniors living with Alzheimer’s, students with literacy challenges, patients in recovery, people with intellectual disabilities, and those approaching end of life. We believe that the human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial relationship that improves the physical, social, and emotional lives of those we serve. We are motivated by connection, compassion, and a commitment to sharing this meaningful bond with everyone who can benefit from time spent with an animal.
