Therapets mission is to utilize specially trained and certified animals to promote health, hope, and healing. We accomplish this mission by: 1. Establishing and communicating standards for using specially trained animals in the healthcare setting. 2. Providing education to health care professionals. 3. Educating communities on opportunities and benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy. 4. Training, certifying, and assuring competency of human/animal volunteer teams.
