Program Description
“The program pairs seniors with volunteers to help with their pet-care needs. Volunteers assist with monitoring medication, walks, feeding and transport to and from the vet. The program also assists with placing pets in temporary or permanent care if something happens to the senior. For seniors who have had to give up their furry friends, volunteers with pets will visit to bring up their energy.”
