Gentle Animal Connection for Neurodivergent Individuals
Darcy is a 5-year-old donkey with a heart as big as his ears! Calm, affectionate, and endlessly patient, Darcy thrives on human connection and is now available for one-on-one and small group animal-assisted sessions at Thrive Supports.
Animal exposure—especially with animals like Darcy who are naturally grounded and non-judgmental—can offer powerful emotional, sensory, and social benefits. For neurodivergent individuals, time spent with Darcy can help:
- Reduce anxiety and stress
- Promote emotional regulation
- Encourage non-verbal communication and social connection
- Support sensory integration in a gentle, natural environment
Whether it’s brushing Darcy’s soft coat, walking alongside him at your own pace, or simply sitting together in calm companionship, each session is tailored to meet individual comfort levels and goals.
Darcy is particularly suited to anyone! His genuine affection and steady nature make him a beloved part of our Thrive community.
