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.

Even an animal that “only” has a sweet face and a gentle touch makes a valuable contribution in any kind of setting.
