Animals, Pet Therapy, Volunteer needed by Helen Woodward Animal Shelter

Pet Encounter Therapy (P.E.T.):

P.E.T. involves taking a variety of animals to visit patients in convalescent homes, hospitals, shelters, and mental health facilities. * Volunteers use Center owned rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles and birds. The only dogs used in this program are owned by individual volunteers, after screening by P.E.T. personnel. Ask the Manager of Volunteer Services for screening forms to find out if your pet is suited for this type of volunteer work. * This rewarding program requires patience and an outgoing personality.

* Volunteers must be 18 years old.
