Animal Assisted Therapist:
Animals are selected by trained staff on temperament grounds to provide
therapeutic visits to hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, special needs
schools, prisons, etc.
A career in this type of work involves selecting, training and working
directly with animals (typically companion animals such as dogs, cats
and rabbits are the most common therapy pets, but horses, and even
birds have been known to become therapy pets).
