Denver Pet Partners - Another way Dogs are helping humans

We hear a lot about volunteer organizations that are formed to help protect and care for animals, but the Pet Rescue organization American Humane also has an interest in Denver Pet Partners, a volunteer group that helps to care for humans through the unique abilities of their dog volunteers.

Denver Pet Partners helps adults and children deal with emotional trauma, healing and learning difficulties. Abuse children learn to trust again, Adults living in assisted living facilities are able to experience the love of a dog.

All animals are trained using a positive training method and kept in peak health. Their rewards are the love and affection of their handlers and the people they serve along with the occasional dog bones.
