Posted September 27, 2020 11:00 pm

BARRINGTON - An animal therapy organization has opened its doors at 22093 N. Countryside Lane in Barrington. SOUL Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers who recruit and train people to handle mini-horses, donkeys and therapy dogs.

The Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce earlier this month held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house at Soul Harbour, which also advocates for animal therapy standards of excellence. "This has been an amazing journey," said Jodie Diegel, president and founder of SOUL Harbour Ranch. "We started this in 2012 and I am so grateful to everyone who has joined our journey along the way. We've built a beautiful facility, but more importantly we've built a very special organization filled with SOUL, which stands for Sharing Of Unconditional Love that is shown each day through our animals and volunteers."

SOUL Harbour partners with other community organizations for events, including the SOUL Buddies Club from Barrington High School. For information, visit soulharbourranch.com.
