programs based on the human/animal companion bond, and

The History:
We are a coalition in Rhode Island, focused upon creating and supporting
legislation, advocating for professsional Pet Assisted Therapy
programs and providing professional development and mentoring
in Professional Pet Assisted Therapy.
Windwalker Humane Coalition for Professional Pet Assisted Therapy
grew out of an inter-disciplinary state-wide conference held in 1995.
This was spearheaded by Pearl Salotto, inspired by her family therapy
pet D.J. Since that time, the Coalition has changed the face of health care,
elementary, high school and university education as well as society in general
through the profession of pet assisted therapy.
