AACR: Animal Assisted Crisis Response Teams

The SOUL Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy Program is proud to be the Barrington area's only animal assisted therapy program with specially trained registered Pet Partners Animal-Assisted Crisis Response (AACR) teams, trained to provide emotional comfort and support to people affected by the impacts of crisis events.

In case of need, please contact us, at which time we will work with Pet Partners to arrange deployment of our teams.​

Thank you to the Barrington Area Community Foundation for recognizing our program as the 2020 “Best Use of Volunteers” grant award winner, which allows our registered handlers to pursue this additional training and credentialing. And thank you to the Barrington Junior Women's Club for granting us a 2024 grant to pay for 10 additional AACR volunteers to complete this valuable training.
