WE PRIMARILY SERVE THREE GROUPS OF PEOPLE: VETERANS, PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, AND CHILDREN WITH BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES. OUR PROGRAMS BENEFIT THESE PEOPLE AND THE DOGS IN OUR CARE. WE INVOLVE RESEARCHERS IN FIELDS RELATED TO ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY, CANINE COGNITION, AND CANINE BEHAVIOR. WE ARE A RESOURCE FOR RESEARCH CENTERS AS A SITE FOR PILOT PROGRAMS, INTERNSHIPS, AND RESEARCH STUDIES.
