Animals for Autism is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating positive, healing experiences through meaningful interactions with exotic animals. We provide free opportunities for individuals with physical and emotional disabilities, veterans, and first responders to connect with animals in a calm, supportive environment.

Our mission is to enrich emotional well-being and build community by bringing people and animals together — whether at our home facility or through engaging, mobile outreach events. Backed by research that shows the therapeutic benefits of animal interaction, we aim to make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.

These encounters are also available to the general public through donation-based events, helping us grow and continue our outreach. With every smile and every moment shared, we’re building a more compassionate world, one animal connection at a time.
