Utah Pet Partners

Utah Pet Partners: Our organization is dedicated to improving human health and well-being through the power of the human-animal bond. We work to train, support, and connect therapy animal teams with communities across Utah, bringing comfort, healing, and joy to individuals of all ages.

Who We Are: As a nonprofit organization, Utah Pet Partners provides training and certification for therapy animal teams, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Our dedicated volunteers and their therapy animals serve in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, senior centers, mental health facilities, and community events.

What We Do: Through carefully guided interactions with therapy animals, Utah Pet Partners helps individuals:

- Reduce stress and anxiety.

- Improve physical and emotional well-being.

- Foster social connections and communication.

- Enhance literacy and learning through reading programs.

We also provide community education about the benefits of the human-animal bond and advocate for animal-assisted interventions to support public health initiatives!

Our Impact: Each year, Utah Pet Partners teams deliver thousands of hours of volunteer service, touching lives across the state. Whether providing comfort to hospital patients, promoting literacy with children, or reducing loneliness among seniors, our therapy animals and handlers create moments of connection that leave lasting impacts.
