Animal Samaritans believes in the healing power of animal-human connections. People have recognized this capacity for millennia. It’s part of the reason our relationships with our animal friends are so meaningful to us. They are bonds as strong as family, and at Animal Samaritans, we honor them as such.
Because of this, we created healing curricula that offer animal companionship as a form of treatment. These animal-assisted interventions are endorsed by human healthcare providers as cost-effective interventions for specific patient populations in these various facilities.
We bring specially trained animals to hospitals, group homes, correctional facilities, senior homes and more. It’s some of our most important work.
