Programs
The human-animal bond is a relationship between people and animals that positively influences the health and well-being of both. Pet partners is the nation's largest and most prestigious nonprofit registering handlers of multiple species as volunteer teams providing animal-assisted interactions. With the highest caliber of curriculum in the industry, pet partners trains volunteers and evaluates them with their pets for visiting animal programs in hospitals, nursing homes, veterans' centers, hospice, alzheimer's facilities, courtrooms, schools, and other settings. We recognize that animals can influence not just our happiness, but also our health. Through our 15,000 volunteers we improve the health and well-being of over 1 million individuals each year.
