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.
