What we’re about
The Human-Animal Connection brings people and animals together for the benefit of both. We do visits with therapy dogs, help people adopt the right companion animal from the shelter, and do educational programs to help people understand animals, communicate more effectively and deepen their connection. We use all positive methods to help animals who may be stressed or experiencing trauma, and help people to learn to work with animals who may be difficult adoptions. We work with everyone and offer no-charge services to Veterans, Active Duty, Health Care Providers, First Responders, and those experiencing stress in the line of duty.

Animals are a Blessing in our lives. And we invite you to join us in Blessing them back!
The Human-Animal Connection presents a "Gratitude Ceremony" for the love we share with other beings.
This spiritual, non-denominational ceremony is a meditation and a joy-filled moment of unity with all life. If you can't join us physically but want your animals included in the Blessing, email photos (put blessing in the subject line) and let us know the animal's name and whether they are alive or in spirit.
This joyful gathering will include various blessing traditions, Animal Chaplain Genie Joseph and Rev. Howard Milwich will offer tender words and moments in honor of your beloveds.
Brief Telepathic Messages will be offered to those animals who have passed on.
We will be outside, so please bring water for yourself and for your well-socialized companion if you choose to bring them. You do not need to bring your animal, as the blessing works at a distance just as well.
Bring photos if you want to place them on the outdoor altar during the blessing.
Please bring your dog’s water bowl. During the ceremony, we will offer them a taste of Healing Water (and a gift of a tiny bottle to take home).
St. Francis Prayer cards and an amulet for you or your dog will be offered as gifts.
If you are not sure if it right to bring your dog, please email Rev. Genie at lightwave7@hotmail.com
This will be a small gathering in a backyard, on the Westside of town. Location will be sent to you after you register.
