The SOUL HARBOUR RANCH ANIMAL THERAPY PROGRAM is an all-volunteer philanthropic organization whose mission is to enrich lives by promoting the unconditional love and healing of the human-animal bond, while advocating for animal therapy standards of excellence. Our special therapy animals—which include comfort dogs, mini therapy horses and mini therapy donkeys—visit Chicagoland hospitals, nursing homes, retirement communities, libraries, hospice centers, homes for the disabled and at-risk youth, domestic violence shelters, and other off-site locations. Our teams of handlers and mini therapy horses/donkeys train for at least six months before being registered as an official therapy team.
