We understand that your client or patients deserve the best possible intervention or medical care.

Delivery of Animal Assisted Intervention Services can change the lives of participants for the better.

So AAI Joint Venture has created a Community Touchpoint program, to let our existing joint venture partners know what work is happening, new service, programs and projects, and how you can become involved or how your establishment or clients can access or be involved. 

Support

AAI Joint Venture is a major supporter of a number of organisations as well as clubs and causes close to our hearts. Here are some of the clubs and initiatives we support regularly.

Proof is in our Capability

With more than 25 years’ experience in AAI supply and delivery and a reputation for innovation, the team at Therapeutic Dog Services, AAI Joint Venture are well qualified to provide their clients with outstanding solutions and the broadest range of industry expertise.

Works in your area

We understand that your client or patients deserve the best possible intervention or medical care.

 

A facility is skilled in many areas but recognises that at times it is in the client's or patients' best interest to utilize available outside specialised services to enhance therapeutic care within their facility.

We are committed to social justice and inclusion, and respect the rights of all people, in all their diversity, to live with dignity and safety and to enjoy healthy relationships.

What is a joint venture

A Joint Venture (JV) is a cooperative enterprise entered into by two or more business entities for the purpose of a specific project or other business activity. The reason for a joint venture is usually some specific project relating to Animal Assisted Intervention Programs.

 

Joint ventures can be informal or formal, and they can be short term or long term. Often the joint venture creates a separate business entity, to which the owners contribute and agree on how this may be managed. The new entity may be a partnership.

 

Individual entities retain their individuality and they operate under a joint venture agreement. In any case, the parties in the JV share in the management, according to a joint venture agreement (contract).

 

Joint ventures are often entered into for a single purpose - a production, research, or activity.

But they may also be formed for a continuing purpose.
