Happy Tails Pet Therapy
We believe in the profound healing power of the human-animal bond. Our dedicated volunteers provide much-needed physical, social, emotional, and cognitive therapy to people of all ages throughout the metro Atlanta area. We visit a wide range of settings, including hospitals; assisted living communities and nursing homes; K-12 schools, colleges and universities; behavioral and mental health facilities; developmentally disabled communities; bereavement and grief support groups; summer camps; reading programs; other non-profit organizations, and even the workplace – truly, anywhere a little extra love can make a difference.
Sometimes a wet nose and wagging tail is the best medicine.
National CARES Mentoring Movement
The mission of the National CARES Mentoring Movement is to secure, heal, and transform the lives of children by inspiring, recruiting, and mobilizing masses of caring men and women to mentor and nourish them. Our national volunteer 58 affiliate network connects adults to local youth-serving organizations, and our holistic group-mentoring programs focus on the emotional, social and academic development of our children and the wellness of the adults who parent, mentor and educate them.
