Pets with Purpose Program
and Farm Friends


Pets With Purpose is a comprehensive program written for the teens living in group foster care at HomeSafe in West Palm Beach. They learn life lessons as well as bond with the animals. This helps them ease their anxieties and is very therapeutic for them. They thoroughly enjoy giving the animals love and attention.

Farm Friends is an experience  written for The Friendship Journey. Kids and teens of all cognitive & developmental abilities have the opportunity to learn about and meet all of our loving therapy animals.  The Friendship Journey vision is to foster understanding and create friendships between the special needs and typical populations. When we add our rescue animals to that mix, magic happens.

Bubbles The Pig

Meet Bubbles.

This delightful pot belly spent the first 8 years of her life in a cage she could barely turn around in, and never had her nails trimmed.  She was in pain walking, and so overweight her stomach dragged. 

Now she has an entire room to live in, enjoys being outside, lost weight, and loves her new diet of healthy food.

Elvis The Pig

Meet Elvis 

We got Elvis from a family who could not give him the proper pig  lifestyle.  

One thing he was very lucky to have received was lots of love, so he came to us happy, trusting, and friendly. We will continue to give him lots of love and treat him like the King he is. 

Elvis went right to work as one of our therapy animals and he became an instant favorite of the participants!
