SCAS values the importance of pets in society and provides education and awareness to encourage the best practice in supporting the human animal bond and animal assisted interventions.
HABRI, the Human-Animal Bond Research Initiative Foundation, gathers, funds and shares scientific research to demonstrate the positive health impacts of animals on people. Their email newsletter makes really great reading!
