Introducing Corporate Comfort Crew: Bring the Joy of Pets to Your Workplace

At the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA, we’ve always believed in the simple but powerful idea that animals make life better. Through our Pet Visiting Program, our dedicated volunteers and their Pet Ambassadors (Team Happiness) share comfort, connection, and compassion with schools, care homes, hospitals, community centres and more -  all free of charge.

Now, we’re excited to expand how we share that joy with the community by introducing a new Corporate Visit option designed especially for workplaces looking to enhance employee wellness, build team morale, and create meaningful moments of connection throughout the workday.

What Is the Corporate Comfort Crew?

Our Corporate Comfort Crew brings the benefits of animal-assisted activity (AAA) right into your office or workplace event. These visits are thoughtfully tailored for:

• Employee Wellness Days
• Team Gatherings and Celebrations
• Stress-relief Sessions During High-Pressure Periods
• Workshops, Retreats, or Special Functions

‍

Unlike our traditional Community Kindness Visits - which are offered at no cost to community organizations - Corporate Comfort Crew visits are available for a fee based on the details of your request. This ensures we can continue offering free visits where they’re needed most while growing our program to serve even more people in our community and beyond.

Pricing for corporate visits is flexible and discussed directly with each organization, so we can best meet your goals and schedule.

Why Bring Pet Visits to Your Workplace?

Research and experience show that interactions with animals can significantly boost wellbeing - including lowering stress, reducing anxiety, and enhancing overall mood and connection among participants. These benefits make pet visits a wonderful complement to any workplace wellness strategy.

Here’s what a corporate visit can do for your team:

• Reduce Stress and Anxiety
• Create Breaks that Recharge and Reset
• Foster Social Connection Among Colleagues
• Boost Morale and Positivity at Work

Whether it’s a midday “paws and relax” break or a special gathering with a few Pet Ambassadors, these visits are about creating space for joy and connection in the everyday routine.

Supporting the Greater Good

When your business books a Corporate Comfort Crew visit, this fee goes back into helping the Pet Visiting Program grow and reach more people in need. That means:

• More Free Community Kindness Visits for Local Schools, Eldercare, Hospitals, and Support Groups
• Expansion of Volunteer and Ambassador Outreach
• Enhanced Program Resources to Serve the Community More Effectively

Your support fuels compassion, connection, and community -one wagging tail at a time.
