The Naperville Area Humane Society is in need of pet therapy teams to join one of our two programs:
PAWSitive Pet Therapy volunteers visit area senior centers, nursing homes, and other facilities with their CGC certified dog (or therapy certified cat). All PAWSitive Therapy dogs are well behaved and current on vaccinations. The Naperville Area Humane Society works with the volunteers and facilities to ensure a perfect match for both parties.
Paws for Tales animal-assisted reading program provides schools with certified volunteer-dog team visits, which help children of all ages to feel more comfortable by reading aloud to a dog in a non-judgmental, supportive environment.
