My Community > Therapy & service animals
It's clear that animals provide unconditional love and play and important part in our lives. Many animals have been trained to provide additional support to those in need. Therapy animals may visit hospitals, nursing homes, and other places where they enhance the lives of people. Service animals go through extensive training in order to assist people with emotional or physical disabilities, while emotional support animals help people cope with day-to-day challenges. |
