Support Happy Tails Pet Therapy on Giving Tuesday!

Happy Tails volunteer teams provide physical, social, emotional, and cognitive therapy to people of all ages. Most people we visit often focus more on the fun they are having instead of the therapeutic benefits they receive!

Animal-assisted therapy and activity visits provide numerous cognitive, physical, social and emotional benefits.

In a less active environment, such as a hospice or assisted living facility, visits will provide stimulation, conversation, companionship, and sensory gratification to the patient, as well as comfort to the caretaker and family members. An entertaining animal, such as one that knows tricks, provides a welcome diversion to distract a resident from pain. Smiles and laughter are also great medicine.

Happy Tails is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and there is no charge to receive visits from our volunteers. We depend on donations to support our extensive training and testing required for certified pet-handler therapy teams, communication and outreach, and administrative and organizational costs.
