About Therapet

We are a 100% donor supported volunteer organization. We depend on these donations to operate our non-profit organization. We are not paid by any facility for our services.

Therapet currently has 70+ dogs, 3 cats, and a cockatoo working in our programs.  The animals do far more than just visit patients.  Therapet establishes goal-oriented therapy programs as well as visitation programs.

Our educational goal is to:

1. Establish & Communicate standards of practice for using specially trained animals in healthcare and educational settings.
2. Provide education to healthcare, educators, facility leaders and volunteers.
3. Educate communities on opportunities and benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy.
4. Train, certify and assure competency of human/animal volunteer teams.
