Canine Presence was conceived from our desire to provide community therapeutic services that encourage the professionalism and benefits of Professional Pet Assisted Therapy (PPAT) and canine therapy education. Canine Presence 2017/2020 community programs with HMEA (Horace Mann Educational Associates) and Morton Hospital, a Steward Family Hospital.
“As professional pet assisted therapy facilitators, we are passionate in the belief of the therapeutic relationship between the human/canine-companion bond. Our community Outreach is dedicated to any individual who might not otherwise have access to PAT services. A key component is the commitment to the local community; focused on those in need of PAT services at the locations where those in need are.” – Bruce and Gale Cummings
