We believe in the healing power of the Human-Animal bond.

Mission

Animal-Assisted Therapy of the Triangle believes in the evidence-based healing power of the Human-Animal bond. According to the American Veterinary Association (AVMA, 2018), “The human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between people and animals that is influenced by behaviors that are essential to the health and well-being of both. This includes, but is not limited to, emotional, psychological, and physical interactions of people, animals, and the environment.” Our Therapy Animals are co-therapists in a triadic relationship, with each therapist and client to accelerate growth and transformation via the mind, body, spirit connection.
