OUR MISSION: Improving the quality of life for people of all ages through the therapeutic use of companion animals.
The love of a companion animal is uncomplicated and unconditional, naturally received and returned by people of all ages. It is in this spirit that Human-Animal Bond in Colorado (HABIC) was founded. Established in 1993 at Colorado State University's College of Applied Human Sciences - School of Social Work, HABIC is a program that effectively uses the powerful human-animal bond in therapeutic settings.
In addition to enriching the lives of clients in hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation, residential treatment, youth corrections, and hospice programs, HABIC grants human volunteers an emotionally rewarding experience, and provides an enjoyable purpose for their animal.
