Keyser the TheraPet visiting a hospice patient
About
ARL TheraPets certifies a pet and their handler, as a therapy team, to visit nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, hospice facilities schools & libraries to make a difference in the lives of those they meet. Once a team is certified, the ARL works to place them with a participating local facility where they are needed and will be welcomed.
This program is not for dogs only! Cats, birds, and other small animals can become certified as part of a TheraPets team.
