Our TTouch-in-Rescue™ program offers TTouch and other gentle
holistic methods of training, rehabiliation, and wellness therapy to assist volunteers and staff at animal rehab centers,
hospices, shelters, and rescue/TNR groups. TTouch is a method of training and wellness therapy that has proven health
and behavior modification benefits for all animals. By working directly with the animals, caretakers learn how to apply
it in their environments; we continue working with them -- and directly with the animals -- as long as needed.
Through these methods, our goals include: helping to improve quality of life and reduce the stress, tension
and fears that many animals experience upon entering an unfamiliar shelter or rescue environment, sometimes after losing the
only home they have known; increase their adoptability, which in turn may help lower euthanasia rates or reduce the number
of animals returned to shelters or foresaken on the streets as a last resort due to behavioral and/or health issues.
____________________________________________
We work directly with the animals in shelters and other rescue environment to further help
them find permanent, loving homes. This may help reduce the number of animals killed in shelters simply because they have
no place to go. If an animal can be rehabilitated, that animal may know the love and comfort of their own home and family;
and we want more homeless animals to experience that joy.
