    Description

    If you have an amazing pet that is up to date on shots and loves people,We have an opportunity for you! Numerous Hospice patients in facilities have had to relinquish their beloved pets.This is where pet therapy comes in. We would get to go to facilities and let your fur baby get some love and attention.All while giving back and seeing the absolute joy that you and your pet can bring! I have done this for 16 years and it is life changing for these patients.A good citizen certificate is required.I can of course assist you with that.The certificate is offered very cheaply.If your pet already knows the commands then you can just do the test without the class;-)
