PET PARTNER'S PROGRAM:
Delta Society's Pet Partners Program trains volunteers and screens volunteers and their pets for visiting animal programs in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, schools and other facilities.
Pet Partners Program was established in 1990 to ensure that "both ends of the leash," people as well as animals, were well-prepared to participate in animal-assisted activity and animal-assisted therapy programs. Pet Partners is the only national registry that requires volunteer training and screening of animal/handler teams.
Delta's national network links volunteers with facilities in their own communities that request visiting pets and helps Pet Partners contact facilities to begin visits in new locations.
Over 6,400 Pet Partners teams now operate in all 50 states and 4 other countries, helping more than 900,000 people each year.
Pet Partners Pre-Qualifier Course
This course is for those interested in participating in dog visitation and therapy. New dog teams are very much needed in NYC.
The course is about personality not just obedience. If you have a dog that loves people and is friendly and outgoing, and you want to do something beneficial & fun with your dog -- this is for you.
At the end of the course you and your dog will be evaluated and then you can start visitation right away!
