Benefits of Healing PAAWS

Animal-assisted therapy is a program that sees many miracles on a day-to-day basis as people who will not respond to other humans open up to the furry, caring creatures that have come to see them. Many elderly residents in nursing homes live for the day our animals come to see them. Animal-assisted therapy provides unconditional love, acceptance, comfort, and companionship to individuals who miss their own pets. They re-teach fine motor skills to residents that want desperately to pet them, and they have been proven to lower blood pressure and often times help speed up recovery from surgery and other medical ailments.

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. ~~Anonymous
