Shannon's Companions
Helping Those That Can't Help Themselves
We are a 501(c)3 non profit organization
and are a subsidiary of Halfway Home
Alternative Therapies,NFP. We provide
a loving and caring environment for
rescued, surrendered, abandoned and
abused horses and dogs until they are
adopted.
We are not people looking for glory. We
are not people with lots of money in need
of a hobby. We are here to help those in
need and can really see from the grassroots
level what is needed. We fully believe in
combining efforts with other organizations
that have the same goals. We welcome
businesses to also partner with us to help
make a difference.
We are as grassroots as they come! Expenses
come out of our pockets with scattered donations
throughout the year and the occasional small
grant to help out. We have goals of eventually
becoming self sufficient.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

The Human-Animal Bond is the dynamic relationship between people and animals in that each influences the psychological and physiological state of the other. Human-animal interaction has profound physiological consequences. People, in the contact with animals experience a decrease in blood pressure, reduced anxiety, and a general feeling of well being. By observing the behavior of animals, children learn to be more nurturing and perhaps better parents to their own children. The therapeutic value of animals for socially isolated individuals in nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, and prisons has been documented. People in the presence of animals are often perceived to be more happy and healthy.
