Pet Therapy It is proven that pet companions can help expand the human life expectancy and improve the mood of individuals. Many seniors living in nursing homes or retirement communities are unable to have a pet companion so, to ensure seniors get regular interactions with pets, SafeHaven Humane Society visits senior communities each month with some of our adoptable animals and/or our alums. We are THRILLED to be getting back out into the community and bringing smiles to more faces. In July, we restarted our Pet Therapy program and took three pups, Sally, Molly, and Tippy, to Brookdale Senior Living and The Oaks at Lebanon Retirement and Assisted Living. They were a hit! For more information on these programs, please email communityoutreach@safehavenhumane.com.
