How Animals Help Us!
| |
Most people, these days, know that pets help people in all sorts of ways. The question is, how can YOUR pet help YOUR community? Here are a few ideas:
|
- Teach children how to care for a pet
- Visit the lonely
- Visit the ill
- If your dog does agility – have your dog demonstrate this skill at a child’s birthday party or at a local elementary school
- If you are a clinician in the medical field, visit the girls scouts or boy scouts and teach them about animal health
- Offer your dog or cat for a few days to a household who is considering a dog or cat, so they can see what pet ownership is really like
- Be a community educator on the health benefits of adding a pet to your family
- Volunteer to make your home a temporary home for those suffering from foreclosure
