From our Senior Task Force Meeting on 2/17/21, it was requested that some community research on support pets/pet therapy be done. Here are some resources I found, links to their webpages, and a little info about their availability. Please feel free to forward this information on to others.

Sincerely,

Cassie Oyer
Circle of Friends Adult Day Center Intern
