The Little Zoo

We bring joy and loving connection through visits with our unique animal family!. https://www.zeffy.com/donation-form/87cbfe1d-813a-4819-ae16-b3290b058847

We serve seniors, children with complex needs and more, encouraging connection and healing! We believe that spending time with animals can be healing in so many ways. Studies show that there are so many benefits including:

*Reduced lonliness
*Cognitive enrichment
*Use of motor skills and sensory stimulation
*Lower blood pressure and calm feelings
*Boosted self esteem
*Feelings of care and uncondi

tional acceptance
*Social stimulation in a positive way/healing heart connection

For some seniors that we visit, we may be their only visitors. We help them feel cared for, seen, and valued. We love hearing seniors reminisce about their past beloved pets and are all ears to hear the details and see the big smiles that accompany their stories. When visiting youth centers, we strive to create enthusiasm and so often see such excitement as children and teens learn about different animals and feel great pride in holding and caring for living beings during our visits. We’ve inspired many kids to put their energy into having their very own pet to care for. What a wonderful focus in a media heavy world! We cherish our experiences with each and every new friend we have the opportunity to visit. Thank you so much for helping us make this possible!
