The Pawsitive Companions: Animal/Human Bond Wellbeing Program is a model for partnership designed for the Human Society of Midland County, Michigan (HSoMC) as a way to realize their vision of bringing the benefits of animal-human bonding to community groups seeking wellbeing opportunities for their constituents. The first such partnership, used as the model for this project, is between the HSoMC and the Great Lakes Bay Veterans Coalition (GLBVC), which provides support and connectivity to local veterans and families. One core component of the Pawsitive Companions initiative is a presentation tool, which includes a fully scripted overview of positive psychology and highlights the research that supports the benefits of animal-human bonding. This will serve as a primary communication tool for partnership program development, staff/Board/volunteer orientation, and as input to grant proposals. Secondly, this project proposes a steering committee comprised of volunteers from the GLBVC to recruit and coordinate the involvement of its members in HSoMC shelter programming. Thirdly, a series of animal volunteer activities come with “Special Missions” – positive psychology interventions – which are included to enhance the wellbeing effects of spending time with the animals. To measure program impact, it is recommended that the HSoMC uses the same wellbeing survey used by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition for community consistency. These components provide a structure and framework for extending the program to other community partners.
