Our philosophy
Human Animal Bond
We are a group of professionals who believe in the power of love to heal the lost, hopeless, neglected, and abused. There is a generation of children (specifically those in foster care) that have not experienced unconditional love, trust, and friendship, which in turn puts up a roadblock to healing. Pet therapy opens the gateway to successful psychotherapy. We believe in the significance of the human-animal bond. "The human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between people and animals that is influenced by behaviors essential to the health and well-being of both. This includes, among other things, emotional, psychological, and physical interactions of people, animals, and the environment." (AVMA.org)
