Be an Angel Therapy Dogs Ministry is an all volunteer animal-assisted organization where all the dog/handler teams are tested, registered and insured members of Therapy Dogs, Inc. We have several types of activities that may be of interest to you:
We have one or more activities every four Saturdays per month. We are sure you will be able to select something that you and your dog will enjoy. We encourage people with families to also participate because the elderly love to have children come as well as the adored dogs. You are encouraged to join us a couple of times while we visit a facility and observe how the patients/residents react to the presence of our very special dogs. The dogs just seem to have the inherent instincts to be calm and collected for the regiment of petting, hugging and kissing that they will be able to enjoy while they are in the facility. They don’t seem to mind the hearty, heavy petting from people with arthritis in their hands and the unusual noise from an oxygen machine. They just sit and absorb the love and attention from the lonely person who they know needs them there for that moment. |
