Volunteering with your pet as an ARL TheraPets team is a fun and rewarding experience!
ARL's TheraPets program offers the joy of therapy animals by means of visits from our certified volunteer/pet teams. Our teams visit nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, hospices, schools, libraries and more!
Our program is not just for dogs; all types of pets including cats, birds, rabbits & guinea pigs have comforting abilities and can make a positive difference in someone’s day.
If you think you and your pet could be a great addition to our group, contact us to learn more and register for an upcoming training workshop!
