Participants will develop personal strategies for self-care and tools to share within their communities and networks.

The Read to Pet Pal program helps children improve their literacy skills, confidence and self-esteem. Reading to our attentive pets provides a non-judgmental audience for the children. This program creates a friendly, positive learning environment.

Our program is unique in that it fosters multiple skill sets. The first is educational, where children will learn more about the PFL pets they will be reading to and how to appropriately interact with them. The second is literacy where they will improve their reading skills and boost confidence. The readers will rotate to several furry friends and will take turns reading to each of them. Additionally, the children learn social skills; patience as they wait their turn, refraining from interrupting, and listening to each other with respect. The animals provide a non-critical audience for the readers, and the program fosters a fun and affirming experience that builds confidence and makes reading fun.

PFL assists autistic and special needs children with a unique and innovative program, with specially chosen therapy pets. The program can be tailored to the needs of the students, and can include:

Behavioral regulation
Building social connections
Motivation to achieve “Calm Body, Calm Voice”
Literacy
The pets truly make a difference in promoting appropriate behaviors. The PFL pets are soft, adorable and friendly and the children want to pet and interact with them. In order to do so, they must learn to exhibit self-control and compassion.

This program is a partnership between PFL and the educators, and can be adapted and evolve to meet the changing needs of the students. The visits are offered in both individual and group settings.

Our flagship program brings the joy of companion animals to those who need it the most. The pets provide opportunities for socialization and fun. Petting the dogs encourages physical mobility, holding a bunny provides sensory stimulation, and sharing anecdotes about previous beloved pets improves memory clarity. It can brighten the day of everyone to experience the wagging tails and enthusiastic greetings of their furry visitors.

Our pet visits take place at:

nursing homes
hospitals
rehabilitation centers
senior centers
behavioral health centers
group homes
social service day programs
crisis response centers
day enrichment programs

Pet Visits can take place in either a group setting, or visiting individual residents in their bedrooms. All visits are one hour in length.

Pals for Life pets promote a corporate culture of caring. The pet visits can be incorporated into employee appreciation initiatives. The visits can occur at individual work- stations or in group settings. PFL pets encourage co-worker interaction which can facilitate positive collaboration. Research shows that therapy animals boost employee morale and help increase productivity.

A visit from PFL companion pets in your organization promotes a positive work environment. There’s nothing better than wagging tails and furry faces to bring Wellness to the Workplace.

The PFL Emotional Support Program is geared towards late elementary, middle school, and high school students who benefit from additional support for emotional and social challenges within an educational setting.

PFL pets can provide a calming presence, help to relieve stress and anxiety, and provide a tool to help teach students healthy social skills during this uniquely challenging time of life. They share the non-judgemental and non-critical love that only a pet can provide. Building positive relationships with the animals can help promote effective relationships with each other, as well as providing an opportunity for greater responsibility, compassion, coping strategies, and connection with others.

The Pals Go to College program helps students reduce stress and promotes relaxation during exams, as well as assisting students to cope with the pressures of college life all semester long. This program promotes joy, happiness and wellness.

Our pet visits give the students the opportunity to:

Hug, pet and play with pets. Students attend the visits in order to visit the PFL pets they have bonded with, and also because they miss their own pets at home.
Make new friends
Get out of their rooms to enjoy the pets. This is especially important for those who are feeling depressed, experiencing anxiety, or not fitting in.
This program is offered to colleges, universities, sororities and fraternities, graduate schools, athletic departments, campus organizations, etc.
Programs can be held outdoors (weather permitting) or indoors.
Students look forward to the PFL pets visiting their campuses, and our PFL pets enjoy hanging out with the future of America.

Pegasus Riding Academy, Inc. provides therapeutic riding services that are overseen by PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) instructors certified in therapeutic riding. Currently we work with riders ranging in ages from 18 months old (early intervention) to 85 years old (stroke recovery). We work with many different disabilities. We have riders here working on physical, intellectual, emotional & behavioral disabilities.

Therapeutic riding is unique and uses the movement of the horse to facilitate treatment. The horse and its movement closely resemble a human gait because it is three dimensional, repeatable and helps the brain and muscle groups to learn to work together. It also stimulates the rider’s brain and neurological system to help riders with developmental delays, socialization skills and disorders such as Autism.

Provides resources to help people smile, laugh and maintain a positive outlook on life. Houses humorous, inspirational and health-related books, DVDs, and videos for individuals facing illness, their caregivers and all community members to use on-site or borrow for up to two weeks.

Therapeutic Horseback Riding Participants will learn the actual skills of riding a horse. Each riding session includes grooming and putting equipment on the horse and a riding lesson.

Participants who are not able to safely ride a horse may chose the carriage driving program. The horse and carriage provide many of the same benefits as riding.

Weekly lessons are available for riders aged 3 to Adults. Participants will learn riding skills and basic horseman-ship through mounted and unmounted activities.
