What is Pet Partners?
Therapy Animals of Utah is a proud Community Partner of Pet Partners® (formerly known as Delta Society), one of the leading international resources for promoting the benefits of the human-animal bond. We join with them in their mission as the national leader in demonstrating and promoting positive human-animal interactions to improve the physical, emotional, and psychological lives of those we serve. Established in 1990 to ensure that “both ends of the leash”, people as well as animals, were well prepared to participate in AAA and AAT programs, Pet Partners is the only national registry that requires standardized volunteer training and evaluation of animal/handler teams.
Pet Partners members visit in hospitals, nursing and rehabilitation centers, schools, libraries, and other facilities. The national network of Pet Partners helps link volunteers and facilities in their own communities and assures professionals that the teams that visit are well trained, reliable, predictable, and appropriate for the task, inspiring confidence in the people they meet.
This organization has been a driving force in validating the positive role animals play in people’s health and well-being through promoting and distributing research in the field. The mission of Pet Partners is to improve human health through service and therapy animals. To find out more about Pet Partners, please visit their web site at: http://www.petpartners.org/.
