First, the mission of this website is to explore the healing bond between humans and dogs, highlighting how this connection fosters mutual healing and wellbeing. Backed by groundbreaking research from 2015 and follow-up studies, this website shares the science of how interacting with dogs releases oxytocin in both species, promoting better mental and physical health for both species. The scientific research presented on this website will be brought to life through real, inspiring stories of people and their dogs.

Second, this website is dedicated to promoting adoption of rescue dogs. Each adoption not only transforms the lives of these dogs and their new families but also creates space to rescue and care for more dogs in need.
Third, I aim to inspire people in the area to consider volunteering at the Terra Canis Sanctuary. Volunteering offers a meaningful way to connect with others, support a vital cause, and experience the joy of helping animals thrive. Together, we can build a community that heals and grows through the incredible healing bond between humans and dogs
