At HABRI, we’re working to gather and fund the science that proves companion animals are good for our health.
With solid science, we can make sure that more people get the help they need – animals that help support heart health; prevent depression; and address the symptoms of PTSD, autism and more.
But we can't do it alone. Your involvement is essential to helping us fund vital research, raise awareness of scientific findings, and support pet-friendly legislation.
Every year, HABRI funds research projects that advance our understanding of the relationships between humans and animals and the mutual benefits that come with them.
Your donations help us fund crucial research and the life-changing results they provide.
Your organization can work with HABRI to advance scientific research on the power of the human-animal bond.
