Autism

Don’t leave pets in your car! Outside temperatures as low as 72 degrees can heat up a car’s interior an average of 40 degrees within an hour, with 80% of that increase in the first 30 minutes. Cracked windows provide little relief from this oven effect.

Autism & Therapy Animals

An Important Connection

We continue to be amazed at the human and animal connection.

Autism continues to be a major topic in the news, and Creatures and Kids continues to learn how therapy animals can play a major role for autistic children and adults.

This section of our site will be devoted to autism and therapy animals, including personal stories, videos and helpful links. We will continue to update this page, so check back often for new additions.
