Animal Chaplaincy
to Offer Compassion
An animal chaplain provides nonsectarian emotional and spiritual care for people who care deeply for animals and for the animals themselves. An animal chaplain can help restore connections, help people and animals process grief and loss, and provide an antidote to compassion fatigue and empathetic distress.
