The PetPals Program of FriendshipWorks is looking for volunteers with pets to visit elders living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Jamaica Plain. PetPals is a remarkable program that brings the unique healing power of the human-animal bond to a sometimes forgotten population. The majority of our teams are volunteer-dog but we also have volunteer-cat visiting teams. We ask for a commitment of 2-4 hours a month for at least 6 months.
A volunteer-pet screening is required to test for obedience and reaction to nursing home stressors such as wheelchairs and walkers. Pets are required to have a physical exam, rabies vaccination and a fecal test before being matched with one of 38 facilities in the Boston/Brookline area.
