PROGRAMS: PET PAWS

What is Pet Paws?

Pet Paws, our small animal therapy visitation program, has been widely successful throughout the county. With the use of carefully selected pets and trained volunteers, we travel to schools and county agencies to share the warmth and love of our many pets.

We make special arrangements to visit classrooms for children and adults with disabilities, offer sensory integration and stimulation opportunities for motivation, address depression and calming moments.

Our appointments over the past 5 years have brought many smiles, hugs and kisses to the students that we visit monthly. Through the use of dedicated volunteers, willing to share several hours per month, we walk away from each appointment wondering who really received the therapeutic benefits from these loving animals - the students or our volunteers!

This program is an animal-assisted learning program for schools and other facilities. Call Kelly for more information: 419-833-1308.
