Creating connections between people and companion animals.

Everybody's Companion Connections, a 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization, our mission is to enrich lives through connections between people and companion animals. We are dedicated to providing humane education and animal-assisted interventions that promote well-being, foster empathy, and create meaningful experiences for individuals of all ages and abilities. Through our programs, we aim to cultivate a community where both humans and animals thrive together in harmony.

Science has consistently shown the profound impact of the human-animal relationship, leading to a significant increase in animal-assisted therapies.

We support the community in these key areas:

  • Animal-Assisted Interventions

    Our animal-assisted therapy and activity programs offer emotional support and therapeutic benefits to individuals of all ages and abilities. Our programs include bringing Animal Assisted Interactions and Animal Assisted Activities to nursing homes, high schools, universities, libraries, and any other local schools or organizations looking for an uplifting experience to reduce stress and bring emotional wellness to their organization.

  • Animal Training and Education

    We offer training and educational resources to help pet owners better understand and care for their animals. Our training programs focus on positive reinforcement techniques, promoting healthy and happy relationships between pets and their families.

  • Youth Education

    We lead Humane Education lessons for classrooms, after-school programs, homeschooling co-ops, rescue organizations, scouts, and any person that wants to enrich the relationship between youth and animals.

Why We Stand Out

Everybody's Companion Connections provides exceptional and enriching experiences to make a difference in the lives of both people and animals.

  • Our team of dedicated professionals includes animal-assisted professionals, humane educators, and animal behaviorists who bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to their work. Their expertise ensures that our programs are effective, compassionate, and tailored to the needs of our participants.

  • Our training is always based on positive reinforcement and humane methods. We make training a fun and positive experience so you and your pet build a relationship based on trust.

  • We believe that all people and dogs deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. We strive to create environments where everybody feels welcomed, respected, supported, and valued to fully participate.

  • Our sliding scale guideline aims to ensure that individuals from diverse income levels can access our services according to their financial capabilities.

  • "My son was a part of Everybody’s Companion Connections's youth dog training program, and it was a great experience. Not only did he learn valuable skills in dog training, but he also gained a deeper understanding of empathy and responsibility. The trainers at Everybody’s Companion Connections were great role models. I'm so thankful for the opportunity for my son to be a part of this wonderful organization."
