It is based in California but it doesn't matter where you live.

I am thinking about getting one for my boys. Try looking up Pawsitivesolutions.org. They offer a lot more than the one that is closer to me!

Speaking from experience,if you find the right match, the benefits are amazing. Pets, especially dogs can really help children to open up and relax.

DOgs are fantastic - train them and you will reap the bennifits! Rats are also amazing creatures to have for animal threapies ! My daughter has 5 and they so help her with anxiety. Rats just need to be handled daily we love our Lab best dog ever!!
