Welcoming animals into our lives has multiple positive effects on our physical and emotional health. Clinical Psychological and Psychiatric research has demonstrated that people's exposure to domestic animals can reduce our stress levels and the negative effects associated with various disorders such as depression, ADHD, Alzhiemer's disease and Autism. Animals also teach us loyalty and patience, and provide us with reasons to exercise, socialise, and focus on the needs of others, rather than ourselves.
The Animal Companion Shelter often has both dogs and cats available who are looking for a loving home. Please watch this website for regular updates and photos of your future best friend.
