We are looking for pet owners who are interested in partnering with their four-legged friend to give back to seniors in their community. Hanging out with you and your pet can be very beneficial to seniors: it lowers blood pressure, releases endorphins, helps with pain, decreases feelings of isolation and depression, offers opportunities for socialization, and much more! Just bring your pet by for an hour or two, and we guarantee you and your pet will leave with smiles on your faces!
Professional experience in pet therapy is not required, but it is a bonus!
