Abstract	Animal-assisted interventions intentionally incorporate the power of the human-animal bond into the therapeutic process. Research findings indicate that therapy dog programs can reduce student stress and build connections within the school, strengthening student response to school-based interventions and providing a foundation to achieve a diverse range of goals. Two main pathways for school counselors in implementing therapy dog programs are described, including (a) utilizing community-based volunteer teams and (b) creating a comprehensive therapy dog program. Strategies for incorporating best practices in animal-assisted interventions, including counselor competence and animal welfare, are offered. (As Provided).
