“The human-animal bond is a soulful bond… the beauty of being able to bring that to people is unmatched.”

This , we celebrate every therapy animal and handler who brings kindness, connection, and healing to their communities. 🐾

Insurance that supports your service.

When you and your therapy animal register with Pet Partners, you’re covered by liability insurance for volunteer visits. That means you can focus on sharing the human-animal bond, knowing you’re protected every step of the way.

It’s important to know this coverage applies to volunteer service only. If you’re providing animal-assisted work as a paid professional, other insurance options are available.

With Pet Partners, you’ll always have the right protection for your role. 👉 Explore volunteer coverage with Pet Partners: https://utm.guru/becomeavolunteer

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a time to honor the pets that bring love and comfort even in the face of illness.

For years, former therapy dog Koru Bear’s Golden Woofs gentle golden heart shone brightest during therapy visits to seniors in memory care and hospice. “His soft nuzzle or gentle paw brought peace and connection in the quietest, most meaningful ways.”

When Koru Bear was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, his handler shared, “Though I was grateful it was caught early, it was still difficult to face.” Their daily life shifted. Extra vet visits, new routines, and careful observation, but his joy never wavered. “His bright smiles and wagging tail reminded me that joy can exist even in the face of challenge.”

Today, Koru Bear has retired from therapy visits, but continues to share comfort as an “office dog,” greeting clients and bringing calm wherever he goes. “Retirement is not an ending, but a gentle transition.”

🐾 This Pet Cancer Awareness Month, we celebrate the resilience, love, and continued purpose of therapy animals like Koru Bear.
