Post-traumatic stress and shelter dogs

Affinity Foundation has started an Animal Assisted Therapy program in partnership with the Victimology Institute in France and the AVA (Agir pour la Vie Animale). The program has the goal to help people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder through a dog assisted therapy with the dogs of the AVA refuge. This program is based on the principle of the bond between humans and animals as a path of healing and health improvement.
