It also takes training, not just for the animal, but for the handler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to be a certain kind of person and have a certain kind of dog to do this,\u201d said Pam Gaber, founder of Gabriel\u2019s Angels, an Arizona-based nonprofit that delivers pet therapy to abused and at-risk children.<\/p>\n<p>Therapy animals are used at hospitals, nursing homes, schools, rehabilitation centers, institutions and in one-on-one sessions with therapists. They also have been brought in to comfort victims of mass-casualty events, including the Newtown, Conn., school shooting and the Tucson shooting that targeted former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.<\/p>\n<p>They come from a wide range of species, from cats and rabbits to barnyard varieties like horses, goats and pigs. Exotic birds, hamsters and Guinea pigs, even llamas and alpacas also have been used to comfort people of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular and recognizable therapy animals, not surprisingly, are dogs. And it\u2019s not even close.<\/p>\n<p>Pet Partners, a nonprofit organization that promotes positive animal interactions as a therapeutic resource, has 11,000 therapy teams in 14 countries and 95 percent of their animals are dogs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDogs are social by nature, but they\u2019re also accustomed to going with us, going out and meeting people,\u201d Bill Kueser, vice president of marketing for Pet Partners, based in Bellevue, Wash. \u201cWe take them on walks, we go with them to the pet store to get dog food. We integrate them in our lives in sort of a wider spectrum of activities than other pets and species are integrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A wide variety of breeds is used. Gabriel\u2019s Angels, which serves 13,000 children in Phoenix and Tucson, has everything from a 4-pound Chihuahua to a 190-pound English mastiff, though most of its animals are golden retrievers, labs or a mix with either breed.<\/p>\n<p>But not every dog is suitable for therapy.<\/p>\n<p>The key is temperament. Therapy dogs need to be relatively even-keeled and enjoy being around people.<\/p>\n<p>If a dog cowers around new people, is too timid or overbearing, or gets jumpy when there\u2019s a lot of commotion, it probably won\u2019t be a good fit as a therapy dog.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes the person wants it more than the dog,\u201d said Gaber, who started Gabriel\u2019s Angels after taking her Weimaraner, Gabriel, to the Crisis Nursery in Phoenix in 2000. \u201cIf they\u2019re in the corner cowering, let them stay home and sleep on your bed during the day if that\u2019s what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninety-five percent of therapy animals with one group that oversees 11,000 teams in 14 countries are dogs, but not all dogs are right for the job.
