Thank you very much Mayo Clinic for their wisdom and loving understanding of the “clinically proven” benefits of allowing service animals to be by the people they love. I wish and hope that more and more people and institutions and HEALTH INSURANCE realize the benefits (and profits) of never separating that loving and healing relationships…

These patients can greatly benefit from having a pet, and a shelter animal can have it’s life saved by being adopted from the shelter. Please encourage these patients to find the love of a companion animal, and please encourage the patients to “ADOPT, DON’T SHOP”. A win-win situation.

Anyone who loves animals can tell you that the benefit outweighs any of the effort and expense of ownership. This is especially true once the kids grow up and leave the nest. There is a bond that is very tangible and rewarding even during the worst of times.

Cooper is a rescue from the shelter and is a “Heinz 57 variety”.
We trained him through obedience classes and the organization to visit and comfort people. We go to rest homes in the area and the people are so grateful for bringing Cooper to visit. Cooper was 2 or 3 when we adopted him. Consider the rescues and older dogs for adoption.
They are so easy to train.
