Pet Therapy with PALs Volunteers
Therapy Dogs
Pet therapy, sometimes also referred to as animal-assisted therapy, helps improve patients mental, physical, social and emotional functioning with the aid of animals. Depending on the preference and volunteer availability, different animals can be used in therapy.
