For people who are in challenging life situations, the benefits of having a pet can be immense. Companion animals can offer love and emotional support to help people cope with physical or emotional hardship, social isolation and pain.

To ensure proper care for the adopted animal, we have volunteers that visit the homes of our special needs pet owners and help them to maintain the health and happiness of their animal companions.  

We believe this program has the potential to positively effect the lives of individuals longing for companionship and a sense of responsibility. If you know of a person that would make a good life-long companion for one of our shelter animals please contact us to learn more about the program.
