Welcome to NATAO –
Advancing Animal-Assisted Therapy Together
The National Association of Therapy Animal Organizations is a national network of organizations that provide trained people and animal teams to provide comfort, support, and therapeutic care. We inform, support, and connect animal therapy organizations across the country. We seek to enhance the well-being of individuals and communities through the power of the human-animal bond.
By focusing on these components, we seek to strengthen our member organizations and enhance the capability of their staff, management, and volunteers. Ultimately NATAO contributes to the goal of elevating the quality and impact of therapy animal programs throughout the United States.
