I have been blessed to learn about Soul Harbour. I have been attending dog training classes with an amazing trainer named LuAnne Smith. I have been working hard with my dog to train him to become a therapy dog and join the Soul Harbour team. Jodie participates in so many wonderful volunteer opportunities and brings joy to so many faces with all of her amazing animals. She has therapy horses, dogs, and pigs. I can't wait for us to pass the test and join her therapy teams. This is such a wonderful organization.

SOUL Harbour Ranch has been a wonderful community partner! In addition to creating a successful after-school club for our students, Jodie and her volunteers have visited BHS during final exams, themed weeks, and activity fairs. We are incredibly grateful to Jodie, the therapy animals, and the Soul Harbour Ranch team for supporting our students!

This is one of the most well run, well respected miniature therapy horse (animal) nonprofits in the country. Jodie's compassion and understanding for both animals and people are the foundation of this wonderful organization. The Barrington and Chicagoland communities are fortunate to have Soul Harbour's therapy program. We are proud of Soul Harbour's affiliation as a team of our Just Say Whoa® to Bullying program.

This wonderful organization excels in so many ways. I have had the the opportunity to get to know Jodie and all of her well taken care of and much loved animals over the last year. As a strong animal advocate and having had a long career in nursing taking care of and bonding with patients, I can attest to the fact that this organization operates with the highest standards of care and operation in their day-to-day activities as well as in their service to the communities that they frequent. I am proud to be affiliated with Soul Harbour Ranch on any level, and will continue to support this group in any way I can.

Soul Harbour Ranch is a unique and important program that is encompassed off of pure love for the human animal bond. The heeling moments with both short and long term effects are undeniably genuine and heart warming. As a mother of a special needs child, this program is impairative to the community to which it serves.

We've known the founders for years and have even been at the receiving end of their therapy program when our son was hospitalized. They are first class folks and their animal therapy program is certainly a reflection of that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their program to an interested party.

Soul Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy Program is an amazing nonprofit. It’s leader and founder is professional and runs this organization with integrity, compassion and hard work. The volunteers are incredible and dedicated. The amount of people touched by these mini horses, dogs and the volunteers is grand. This organization also involves the next generation in animal therapy by running a program for students at Barrington High School. All of these things are done on volunteer hours and donations.
We are proud to support what is good for the SOUL and all they do.

I have been volunteering for the past 3 years with Jodie and horses of Soul Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy Program. It fulfilled my passions with service/volunteerism and horses. Integrity and professionalism of the leadership is what attracted me to volunteer. I am also aligned in the core philosphy of how the animals in the program are cared for and trained. This program impacts people of all ages and abilities. You can not help but enjoy being the moment with one of the animals of Soul Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy Prpgram.
