Our mission is to strengthen our community by developing healthy, resilient individuals through animal-facilitated education, with special attention to at-risk youth. We believe that animals can reach a place in the human heart that other approaches may not. Our work is based on the knowledge that animals can teach us important life skills, including: honesty, clear communication, boundaries, leadership, self-management, and resilience. We provide a safe, compassionate environment where people of all ages practice skills essential for meaningful and successful relationships based on mutual respect, communication, responsibility, and trust.
