Give Vulnerable Populations Access to Therapy Dogs
Organization information
Oknooshoon
Location: Belmont, United States of America
Summary
Oknooshoon provides canine-assisted interventions (CAIs) in Armenia with a certified CAI Team (Therapy Dog and Handler). This will mutually benefit dogs and people in Armenia, by giving vulnerable populations access to therapy dogs and improving the troubled human-canine relationship through education. After a 12 week pilot at four facilities for institutionalized youth and individuals with disabilities, the project will be assessed for impact and expanded to more target populations.
