Animal assisted therapyTails of Joy members are committed to bringing joy to others with their pets. While visiting is done as a team, the pet is the star of the show. Teams visit with people in their own homes, hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities. Some members participate in hospice programs providing end-of-life comfort, while others visit in schools and children's facilities, participating in reading and educational programs.

Some members provide animal assisted therapy with their pets in a treatment setting, such as occupational or physical therapy.

Animal Assisted TherapyThink of the wonderful feeling you experience when your pet purrs beneath your touch or wags his tail just because he is happy to see you. Sharing your pet and the things that he does that put a smile on your face not only brings happiness and comfort to the person being visited, but also enriches your life.

Comfort of TouchTails of Joy members provide support to each other and to individuals who are interested in getting involved with their pet through meetings to share ideas and visit requests, a mentoring program for new teams, educational programs, and training classes for handlers and dogs to help them prepare for the Delta Society Pet Partners evaluation.
