Program Description:
<div>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.<br />
</div>
<div>The Pet Partners program was established in 1990 to ensure that "both ends of the leash," people as well as animals, were well-prepared to participate in animal-assisted activity and animal-assisted therapy programs. Pet Partners is the only international registry that requires volunteer training and screening of animal-handler teams.
<div> </div>
<div>Most domesticated species can qualify to be an animal partner with their handler. While dogs make up the largest number of teams, we also register people with their cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, mini-horses, bird, llamas, pot-bellied pigs and others.</div>
</div>
<p>Delta Society's international 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. <br />
