Providing interaction, walks, food, and materiel for pets that are separated from their owners while their owner is seeking aid and detox. Volunteers would provide early morning walks, late night walks and playtime, outings with the pets such as hiking or water sports, and feeding in the morning and afternoon. On irregular days, volunteers would check in with the dogs every 2 hours for walking and playtime. Volunteers may also provide bedding, food, and toys for these pets. Volunteers will be educated on a dog's needs and behaviors, along with any necessary crisis training.

About PROJECT RECOVERY

Location:

Mission Statement

Develop and increase the number of responsible pet owners and industry workers by providing a place where they can find lifelong alliance for themselves and their pets through education, encouragement, support, and total self-care (mentally, physically, and spiritually) so they may thrive in this life.

Description

An ongoing initiative that facilitates recovery from substance use disorders by providing care for pets and service animals while their owners undergo treatment. This program supports individuals on their sobriety journey by ensuring their pets are looked after, allowing them to focus on healing. Once reunited, participants are empowered to achieve self-sufficiency through various support avenues and a paid apprenticeship with Serenity Paws.
