GOALS
The Center's goals are to partner with others in veterinary medicine, the human health care professions, and the social and biological sciences who have similar interests and concerns to:
1) acquire scientific knowledge about human-animal relationships,
2) develop techniques that assure people and animals receive the maximum physical, cognitive, social, and psychological benefits from their relationships with one another, and
3) disseminate through outreach and service knowledge regarding the human-animal bond and those interventions that benefit both people and animals.
