**********************************************
Established in 2005, Pet Partners® of Syracuse is a registered Affiliate of the national Pet Partners® (formerly Delta Society®). We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that helps people live healthier and happier lives through the use of therapy animals. This is done by trained volunteers who have been screened along with their pets to provide Animal Assisted Activities(AAA) and Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) in a variety of settings. We are not a service dog organization. Pet Partners® national does have a national service dog resource center available on its website -- www.petpartners.org. We receive no government funding and rely on individuals, foundations, and corporations for financial support.
Most of our members are in the greater Syracuse area although, as registered Pet Partners®, we have the ability to set up visitations wherever we find the need - nationwide. We visit health care facilities, schools, libraries -- just about anywhere anyone needs the emotional support and health benefits of a registered Therapy Animal® team. Some of our teams are also registered with R.E.A.D.® (Reading Education Assistance Dogs®) - a program developed by Intermountain Therapy Animals of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Our Mission
Pet Partners® of Syracuse, Inc. is a dedicated group of individuals and registered Therapy Animal Teams committed to promoting the enrichment and enhancement of lives through the human-animal bond. This is accomplished through Animal-Assisted Activities and Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAA/AAT) designed to meet the needs of individuals of all ages and abilities.
Sometimes you just need someone special to listen.
At the heart of all Pet Partners® programs is a research foundation which demonstrates that when animals are around, people's blood pressure goes down, stress and anxiety levels are reduced, people feel less lonely and less depressed, and they tend to be more social and community oriented. Pet Partners® brings individuals together who share a common passion - a love of animals and people. Pet Partners® is committed to making a difference within local communities and across the globe.
