students in January 1978 as a model no-kill animal shelter. ABC has extended to include therapy pet activities,
teaching animals to help people, including high-risk teens, and community and service dog training programs. The
ABC Delta Pet Partners Program began in February 2000 to fulfill ABC's mission of providing a community service
program mutually beneficial to both people and animals. ABC recognizes that human values can be taught through
the love, respect and care of animals. ABC's only source of income is through public donations, bequests and grants.

child abuse which leads to animal abuse..the cycle continues until a life changing intervention occurs. We know
we have the opportunity to be a catalyst in the life of a child to make better choices when it comes to anger and
violence. Our Pet Therapy Program serves as a foundation for teaching children compassion, nurturance and to trust
once again. |
