    LITA (Love is the Answer) matches volunteers and their well-behaved, vaccinated pets with individuals living in care and retirement facilities who receive few visitors or none at all. Your pet need not be certified but have good basic obedience and a willing personality.

    Commit to visit regularly, weekly preferred, for a minimum of six months.
