Pets for People

Our club is for veterinary students who want to volunteer in the community with registered therapy animals, as well as for students who may not have a therapy animal but wish to learn more about training techniques and animal behavior. The club will hold meetings throughout the year, bringing in speakers to discuss topics related to behavior, training, and the human-animal bond.  All pets in the volunteering program are registered therapy animals. The club will help members train their pets for the therapy evaluation and pay for testing and registration. In order for your pet to become a Pet Partners therapy animal, they should enjoy people and be able to obey basic training commands. Members may attend as many or as few therapy visits as they wish.
