Happy Tails volunteers are dedicated to sharing the
comfort, healing, and connection of the
human-animal bond through animal-assisted pet therapy.
Welcome, we are wagging our tails to see you at here!
Our mission is to share connection, love and comfort in hospitals, assisted living,
behavioral hospitals and schools throughout the Atlanta, GA community.
Our dogs, cats and their humans dedicate time to visit with patients, caregivers, family
and students to improve their physical wellbeing and mental health.
Animal-Assisted Therapy Benefits
Physical Wellbeing
Interaction with a trained animal companion can lower blood pressure, reduce physical pain, promote relaxation, and in some cases even reduce the need for pain medication.
Mental Health
Animal-assisted therapy has been shown to help reduce anxiety, stress and alleviate depression. It encourages communication and provides the motivation for a faster recovery.
Reading Support
READing Paws assists children who are struggling to read. Our pets provide a non-judgmental and unbiased audience while a child reads a book, relieving stress and anxiety so they may practice without pressure.
