April 30 is National Therapy Animal Day!
National Therapy Animal Day was created to recognize and honor therapy animals who partner with their human companions (handlers) to bring comfort and healing to those in need.
New York Therapy Animals, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)3, New York City based affiliate organization of Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA).
They are dedicated to bringing animal resources to human needs in healthcare facilities and to children in schools and libraries with the assistance of trained, licensed and insured therapy dog teams. Through their animal-assisted interactions community programs they serve people of all ages in various socio-economic matters in areas of physical, occupational, speech and psychotherapies and special education. Every day their therapy dog teams are performing remarkable acts of kindness.
