VolunteerMatch

The mission of Delta Society is to improve human health through therapy and service animals. We work to increase awareness of the positive effects of animals, reduce the barriers that prevent the involvement of animals in everyday life, and expand the therapeutic and service role of animals in human health, service, and education.

Delta Society promotes mutually beneficial relationships between people and service and therapy animals through its Pet Partners Program, Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) and Animal-Assisted Activities (AAA), and our web-based National Service Dog Center (NSDC). The association sends volunteer-animal teams to healthcare and school settings to conduct animal-assisted activities and therapy programs. Delta Society, also, educates healthcare professionals to incorporate therapy animals into treatment programs, offers a standards based education program for animal-assisted activities and therapy, and provides information and resources to those seeking service animals.
