About Us
Annie's Therapeutic Companions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer organization consisting of Pet Partners registered animal therapy teams, based out of Dublin, Texas. Our organization is run by volunteers who love people and animals, who own and train their own animals, and want to serve the public by utilizing them.
ATC teams consist of a handler and dog or other animal who have been extensively trained to offer consistent, safe attention to those in our care. All of the registered teams in our organization are also extensively trained to help in crisis situations and have an additional certification from Pet Partners in Animal Assisted Crisis Response.
We are on call 24/7 for comfort, encouragement and support to first responders, schools, hospitals, and communities in general and during times of crisis, disasters or personal loss.
Mission
Annie's Therapeutic Companions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer organization consisting of Pet Partners registered animal therapy teams, based out of Dublin Texas. Our organization is run by volunteers who love people and animals, and who own and train their own animals, and want to serve the public by utilizing them. ATC teams consist of a handler and dog or other animal (that is recognized by Pet Partners to be a therapy animal) who have been extensively trained to offer consistent, safe attention to those in our care. All of the registered teams in our organization are also extensively trained to help in crisis situations and have an additional certification from Pet Partners in Animal Assisted Crisis Response.
Our organization provides each team with all their grooming necessities (such as shampoos, conditioners, and many other wonderful trade secrets to making all of our animals smell, look and feel amazing for our visits), uniforms and the animal's working therapy gear/uniform. Once a team has gone through all their training and pass their evaluation/test there are other large required costs we cover.
Vision
Our vision is to be involved in every facet of the community where therapy animals may be used and provide the greatest of benefits.
