BELLEVUE, Wash., March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- It's no secret animals can have a positive impact on a person's mental and physical health. That's why every year thousands of facilities such as libraries, schools, hospitals, assisted living, and more ask Pet Partners volunteers to bring therapy animals to visit and provide comfort to their students, residents, patients, and customers. This April 30 is a special day to recognize the beneficial role therapy dogs and other therapy animals, in partnership with their human companions, play in creating happier, healthier communities.
