John and Joy in the fall of 2006 and began Scatter Joy Acres(SJA) two months later. Their vision is that the Ranch would be “A Place of
Rescue and A Journey to Peace.” SJA became a non-profit in 2009.

Pets can be good for our health. They are known to increase a sense of well being and reduce our stress levels.

Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is an innovative intervention in which an animal becomes a crucial part of the treatment process. Animals can give therapists the tools they need to begin and maintain an effective treatment program with solution-focused therapy. AAT can improve a person’s social, emotional, and cognitive functions.

AAT can be extremely rewarding and motivating in treating children with symptoms of hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsiveness. The novelty of animals can be “natural” for children who are motor-driven.

We work with special needs in our community.
