The Escondido Humane Society Pet Therapy Program is looking for volunteers to join its team. The program is perfect for people who want to make a wonderful difference in somebody’s life. Volunteers in the Pet Therapy Program will take animals from the Humane Society’s Education Department to visit seniors in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and other places that request animal visits to bring a little happiness and love to the residents that reside there.
Time commitment is about one-and-a-half hours once a month. Volunteers must use their own vehicles and commit to a minimum of six months. Volunteers must have the ability to work with seniors and the disabled and a willingness to work with a variety of animals.
For more information, contact Ina Shookhoff, director of education, at (760) 888-2261.
