Description

Do you love your cat or dog? Does your horse calm you? Write your story about your beloved pet! Pet_Therapy is about how our companion pets heal us, comfort us, and make us laugh. Meet other people who understand how a companion pet can enrich our lives. Pet Therapy or Animal Assisted Therapy can include all pets, including cats, dogs, horses and others. Sometimes, the healing therapeutic relationship of a special pet can inspire a person to do amazing things.

What are YOUR STORIES?

Post photos of YOUR PET right on this board so we can all see!

One man refused to live in a group home because he would have to give up his cat which motivated him to improve his health and Depression. Now, he livess independently and works in mainstream society. It was the love of his cat that saved him!

One guy adopted a puppy from a breeder who turned out to be his best friend. Getting to know his puppy as he grew into an adult dog was fun and you can read the funny stories.

One lady has a cat that hangs upside down from her kitchen chair! The photo is a riot!

One mother rescued a litter of kittens that she heard crying in her backyard. She couldn't understand where they were because a company came and cut huge trees down and only some stumps remained. To her surprise, a litter of kittens SURVIVED inside the bottom of the tree stump of a huge tree that was cut down the day before!

One woman lost her cat of 17 years old due to Cancer. She couldn't believe how difficult it was to come home to an empty house. Getting to know her new kitten was exciting and brought new life to her home.

People here extend their support and understanding by sharing their pet stories. Meet new friends!
