Adi & Sofi Therapy Pups
You'll meet Adi and Sofi at AJ's Hub in the San Francisco Bay Area, Talks, and WalkShops. Adi and Sofi are AJ's hypoallergenic, non-shedding animal-assisted therapy pups with BIG hearts.
Animal-assisted interventions have historically been very beneficial to human health. The simple act of petting, cuddling, or interacting with a dog provides a human with multiple mental and physical health benefits. The "Feel-Good Hormones" of Oxytocin, Serotonin, Dopamine, and Endorphins that play a role in numerous bodily functions are released in the brain and can elevate mood and induce a sense of calm.
Animal-assisted therapy reduces stress levels to help people relax; provides comfort; reduces fear, anxiety, and feelings of isolation; increases feelings of social support; and provides motivation, mental stimulation, and concentration. 🐶
