Making a Difference with your Companion Animal

The following programs are designed to enable you and your animal companion to contribute to society in a meaningful way. If you have an interest in making visitations to schools, hospitals, nursing homes, or working helping children improve their reading skills, the following programs may be of interest.

Dogs Helping Kids to Read

Children who are hesitant to read to their peers are typically less stressed when reading to dogs. Kids know dogs are never judgmental of their abilities to read. Reading with Rover is a program through which children with reading delays read stories to dogs…and the dogs love listening. The children improve their reading skills in the safe and fun environment the dog creates. Reading sessions usually take place in public schools. Check out www.readingwithrover.com for more information. Or contact Becky Bishop through www.puppymanners.com

Certified Therapy Animal Training

Do you have a Therapy Dog or Cat in the making? The Delta Society's Pet Partners Program trains and screens volunteers and their pets for visiting animal programs in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, schools and other facilities.

The Pet Partners Program was created to ensure that training occurred on “both ends of the leash” and is the only national registry that requires volunteer training and screening of animal/handler teams. The Delta's national network links volunteers with facilities in their own communities that request visiting pets and helps Pet Partners contact facilities to begin visits in new locations. The site: www.deltasociety.org will enable you to find an instructor in your area.
