To provide animal assisted activity and animal assisted therapy for the mental and psychological healing of persons in health care organizations and educational programs. Through interaction between animals and people, an increased positive psycho-social sense of well being will be provided through sharing, caring and
compassion.
K-9's for Compassion is a Delta Society Pet Partners Program, based after RX: Dog Love in Akron, Ohio.
Through careful evaluations of animal/handler teams by Delta Society Licensed
Animal Evaluators, veterinary screening, and a Team Training Course, we can
ensure that people and animals are prepared to go into hospitals,
rehabilitation centers, prisons, schools, and nursing homes.
Carefully screened animals visit at area Nursing Homes, Hospitals, and give
school presentations to teach about the importance of volunteering and giving
back to the community, bite prevention, and careers with animals. We also
do a lot of civic speaking to area groups.
