Delta Society advances its mission to improve human health through service and therapy animals by concentrating its efforts and resources into three areas: Pet Partners® Program, Animal-Assisted Activities and Therapy Education System and Service Dog Education System. Each plays a critical and unique role in fulfilling the mission.

Green Chimneys, a residential center for emotionally disturbed and learning disabled children in New York , uses farm animals in the treatment program.
