Pet Therapy Inc
Established in 1998 in Sarasota County, Pet Therapy Inc. aims to brighten the lives of elderly individuals in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, as well as returning wounded veterans. The organization focuses on educating the public about the importance of volunteerism through visitations with animals, primarily puppies and dogs, facilitated by both children and adult volunteers.
Pet Therapy Inc. positively impacts residents by enhancing their physical, emotional, and social interactions, ultimately reducing stress and fostering a more meaningful stay or recovery. The interaction with animals has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase sensory stimulation, inspire a sense of purpose, promote social interactions with staff, and alleviate loneliness by creating companionship.
