We are excited to announce that Huckleberry’s Pet Parlor is now a Therapy Pets Unlimited Volunteer Evaluator.
Companion animals bring joy to millions of people across the United States. Research now has shown that pets provide both psychological and physiological benefits. Pet visitations can help lift moods, reduce anxiety, increase communication and motivation. For those who have experienced a traumatic event or are feeling isolated, pet visitations ease grief, stress and loneliness. Pet visitations can also be helpful in a wide range of environments, beyond the tradition hospital and nursing home facilities, including schools, community outreach program facilities, assisted living facilities, out-patient clinics, senior citizen centers, and libraries.
