What is Trails for Tails?
Every step you take helps bring therapy animals to hospitals, schools, senior centers, and communities in need. Your fundraising fuels our mission and makes those magical therapy animal visits possible. Together, we’re expanding the reach of the human-animal bond, one hike, one smile, one step at a time.
Pet Partners’ Mission
Pet Partners’ mission is to improve human health and well-being through the human-animal bond.
Our Therapy Animal Program represents the best that the field of animal-assisted interventions has to offer. Pet Partners is considered the gold standard internationally in therapy animal visitation and credentialing.
Volunteer teams in our Therapy Animal Program interact with a wide variety of clients including veterans with PTSD, seniors living with Alzheimer’s, students with literacy challenges, patients in recovery, people with intellectual disabilities, and those approaching end of life.
We believe that the human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial relationship that improves the physical, social, and emotional lives of those we serve. We are motivated by connection, compassion, and a commitment to sharing this meaningful bond with everyone who can benefit from time spent with an animal.
