"I still get the chills when I witness all of the good work our animals are doing, especially those who were on death row!  The amount of smiles and relaxation that they have brought is truly amazing!"

Buddy

Buddy is in the bathtub getting paint washed off. Amy had just completed a class with 5th grade special education students, functioning on a kindergarten level, we read Harry the Dirty and then they painted him. Animal-Assisted Interventions can be paired with Art Therapy or Music Therapy.

Coco

During Covid, Amy could not visit in person in nursing homes and assisted livings, so she did virtual visits using costumes, music and trivia to stimulate our clients. Everyone loved seeing Coco as the bride, where Buddy dressed up as the groom!

Cuccio a.k.a. Cookie

with Cassandra

As somebody who has worked in healthcare for about eight years, I have always had a passion for helping others. I would see animal assisted therapy being conducted at the facility I work at and thought it was the greatest thing. One day it dawned on me that I could continue to help others, and spend time with my dog at the same time, so I knew at that moment that it was something I wanted to pursue.

There's nothing better than making a lasting positive difference for someone! I wanted to pursue Animal-assisted therapy to better understand people, and help them into a better mindset with Marshall Lee as my wing-cat!
