National Therapy Animals

National Therapy Animals is a nonprofit organization dedicated to training and certifying animals—such as dogs and sometimes other species—to provide therapeutic support to people in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and disaster areas. These animals undergo specialized training to deliver comfort, reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being. The organization's goal is to facilitate connections between well-trained therapy animals and individuals who can benefit from companionship and emotional support, ensuring these animals meet safety and performance standards to effectively assist in various environments.
