from our Therapy teams
Ongoing Community Placement
1 team comes multiple times
These visits generally consist of one team visiting a facility, organization or corporation on a regularly scheduled basis. This can be weekly, biweekly or monthly depending on volunteer team’s availability and facility’s needs. Our volunteers share their pets in visits that average between 45 minutes and one hour
1 time Group Event
Multiple teams come 1 time
Colleges and high schools as well as corporations often request de-stress events to ease anxiety and stress of students, employees, faculty and staff. Pet therapy is often called upon to help ease the pain of bereavement, loss and trauma. Pets & People works with a designated staff member or employee at an institution or corporation to bring a group of Pets & People teams on a specific date to your facility.
