Mission
To provide the best possible animal assisted activity and therapy services with teams of trained and registered individuals and their companion animals to clients in Middle Tennessee. We are dedicated to the ideal of promoting the benefits of the human-animal bond and improving the physical, emotional, and psychological lives of those we serve.
Background
Therapy ARC began as an outreach program of a local Humane Shelter in 2001. In 2004, Therapy ARC formed it's own non-profit organization and continued it's growth. Since then, Therapy ARC has pet-partner teams visiting regularly over sixty facilities in the Williamson, Davidson, Sumner, and Wilson Counties. Training workshops are held regularly and are taught by Intermountain Therapy Animals licensed Instructors. Workshops conclude with evaluations, conducted by Intermountain Therapy Animals licensed evaluators, which determine the skills and aptitude of an animal-handler team.
Impact
1. Expand the opportunities to participate in youth related educational activities.
2. Attain name recognition by participating in community events.
3. Place therapy animal teams in every facility that requests them.
