Animals enrich our lives. As a program of the American Humane Association, a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization, Denver Pet Partners provides information and education on animal-assisted activities/therapy and provides the services of registered animal-handler teams to enhance the healing and learning process for people in the metro Denver area. Our work motivates rehabilitation patients to walk again, children in special education classrooms to learn important life skills, facilitates counseling sessions in a mental health center and takes away the loneliness of residents in long-term care facilities. Our work also gives animals a very important job to do. It’s a win-win!
Animals have the power to heal - sign this pledge to support Denver Pet Partners and other animal-assisted therapy programs!
