Our mission is to improve human health and well-being through the power of the human/animal bond.   \nElin MacKinnon\, LCSW\, is a consultant with the CCC. She has volunteered with Pet Partners for nearly 10 years\, first as a volunteer team with her dog Nemo\, and currently as an evaluator of  human and animal teams. She is also a volunteer with Silent Sidekicks\, a local organization based in Lincoln\, Maine\, and prior to the pandemic was volunteering at a library in Steuben where children would improve their reading skills by reading to her therapy dog\, Dory.
