Facilities We Visit

North Star Therapy Animals provides therapy animal services to a wide variety of facilities throughout the Twin Cities area.  At many of them, we primarily engage in animal-assisted activities or AAA, but at others, we provide animal-assisted therapy or AAT, a more specialized type of therapy animal service.
