Loving Canines Needed
Sep 10, 2009
If you own a certified pet therapy dog, you and your dog can bring joy and comfort to senior citizens throughout Ocean County.
| |
You and your dog will be matched with a senior citizen to make friendly home visits at times that are convenient for you. These visits will bring great joy and a well-documented role in reducing stress, improving the health and self-esteem of seniors and most importantly helping the elderly cope with loss and loneliness.
According to Lynette Whiteman, executive director of CVCJ, "We are getting many requests for our pet therapy program and we don't have enough dogs to fill all the need."
