Pet Therapy (also known as Animal Assisted Therapy) uses trained animals to enhance a person's physical, emotional and social well-being. The gentle, non-judgmental presence of a therapy animal boosts self-esteem, reduces anxiety and facilitates healing.
Our Ambassadors of Love Pet Therapy animals are not service animals. Rather, they are trained and certified pets that are invited into public and private places to provide comfort, relaxation and enjoyment to others.
The Coulee Region Humane Society Ambassadors of Love is a volunteer-based, animal-assisted program that consists of family-owned pets and their owners who go into the community to comfort those in need. All of the humane society's Pet Therapy teams have gone through and passed specific training and behavioral evaluations. Pet therapy teams are invited to go to hospitals, schools, nursing homes, community events and many other locations because of their experience and certifications.
