Tiger HATS

Tiger HATS

The Tiger Human Animal Therapy Service (Tiger HATS) is a community organization sponsored by the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. It is composed of volunteers from LSU Vet Med and interested persons from the Baton Rouge community.

Our program began in November 1991, and we visit facilities in the Baton Rouge area, such as geriatric care facilities, hospitals, libraries, rehab facilities, children’s cancer units and adult psychiatric treatment centers. Volunteers attend each facility on a monthly basis with each visit lasting approximately one hour.
