Scatter Joy Acres operates a 26-acre urban ranch in Omaha, Nebraska, that combines animal rescue with therapy services. Its certified Animal Assisted Therapy program serves populations in need, including at-risk children, the developmentally disabled, seniors, the homeless, individuals with mental illness, veterans, and those re-entering society. Animals that are abused, neglected, or abandoned are rescued and cared for, and those not adopted are trained to participate as therapy animals in the program. The organization situates its work within the mental health care field by integrating animal welfare with therapeutic activities in an urban setting. Operating with a small team, Scatter Joy Acres emphasizes a community-based approach to mental health and social reintegration through animal-assisted therapy.
