Creature Comfort Pet Therapy is a nonprofit organization based in Madison, New Jersey, that provides animal-assisted wellness and therapeutic visits across a range of settings, including nursing facilities, schools, libraries, hospitals, and veterans programs. The organization emphasizes a hands-on approach, tailoring each visit to the facility and the energy level of the therapy animal, with certified teams able to select from various visit types based on interests. It has trained and certified a substantial number of therapy teams—encompassing dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals—and supports roughly several hundred visits each month through its network of volunteer teams. Founded in 2011 by Joan Baer and Annie Murphy, Creature Comfort Pet Therapy operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit and focuses on expanding access to structured pet therapy services for diverse community institutions. A recent development noted is a partnership with The Marisa Tufaro Foundation to fund visits during a Day of Service at Franklin Elementary School, illustrating collaboration to extend its reach in educational settings.
