The Human-Animal Bond Trust (HABT) is a Denver area nonprofit that was founded in 1988 by veterinarians and grief counselors, with a mission to serve the community; most importantly by holding the Nation's longest running, weekly "Pet Loss Support Group" facilitated by compassionate, licensed therapists. The Pet Loss Support Group is a safe and supportive environment where individuals can come to process the grief occurring from the loss or anticipated loss of a beloved animal companion, free of charge, every Thursday night. Our other primary mission is the education of the general public (adults and children), and the veterinary community, on topics such as grief, euthanasias, compassion fatigue, self-care. etc.
