About Our Group

Therapy Pets of Greater Cincinnati is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 and is an Affiliate Group of Delta Society. Delta Society is the leading international resource for the human-animal bond and has been the force to validate the important role of animals for people's health and well-being by promoting the results of research to the media and health and human services organizations. Our group’s mission and goals are well-aligned with Delta Society’s and as such we have chosen to affiliate our group with Delta Society and to abide by their strict guidelines for evaluating volunteer Pet Partner teams and providing Animal-Assisted Activity and Animal-Assisted Therapy services.

We train volunteers and screen pets to visit acute, rehabilitation and palliative healthcare facilities, group homes and schools throughout the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Metro area. Our current membership of quality teams includes over 200 volunteers and their dogs and other pets. Therapy Pets of Greater Cincinnati values our animals’ safety and welfare as our highest priority while helping our pets to share their unconditional love with others. Client confidentiality, including compliance with HIPAA regulations, is assured.

We have been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a not-for-profit organization under Section 501(c)(3) since March, 2005, and are further classified as a public charity under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Donations to our organization may be fully deductible, but please check first with a qualified tax professional.
