Paws for Mental Health
Did you know?
Pets are associated with improved cardiovascular health including lower blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels, and less risk of dying from a heart attack. Pets may relieve stress and help promote relaxation by providing comfort, non-judgmental affection and a distraction from stressful problems and situations. Pets can improve moods and boost happiness.
While we bring our furry babies into the workplace—keeping your employees happier, healthier and more productive—your sponsorship helps save lives and continue to educate and fix the spay/neuter problem.
