Common Ground

Registered charities and Practitioners that provide animal assisted support services have a number of things in common.

• They serve Canadians with disabilities, youth, children, and seniors.
• Service providers want to inspire and ensure a consistent level of quality, safety, and participant satisfaction.
• In every case the animal becomes the channel represented in treatment and/or utilized for assistance.
• The Human-Animal Bond is the catalyst that enriches quality of life by fostering inclusiveness and unconditional love.
• Sustainability challenges are mutual and cannot be resolved by one person or by one group alone.
