Paws of Progress
The Share-A-Pet Organization intends to be the nation’s leading pet assisted therapy organization and we need your help.
It is individuals like yourselves, out in the field sharing love and improving lives, who bring us the reputation and recognition of being the best.
What this means in terms of your commitment to excellence is:
- A one year commitment to regular pet assisted therapy. This consists of a minimum of 44 pet assisted therapy hours a year.
- A commitment to turning in your hours each month. (forms are provided)
- A commitment to educating yourself and your dog to be the best at what you do.
- A commitment to appearance and grooming.
- A commitment to further the success of the organization by:
- recruiting new volunteers
- recruiting Perks Partners
- making donations
- submitting your stories of pet-assisted therapy
- participating in fundraisers
- attending events
- recruiting corporate and individual sponsors
With your help we can quickly reach our goals, which means reaching the many people in need of this wonderful and crucial therapy in the best way possible.
But you are not alone. Our organization is the only national pet-assisted therapy organization that is designed around a family structure. As a member you will be part of your local team, which is led by a local team coordinator. You will get the opportunity to meet the other area members and to work together to accomplish team goals. Regular meetings will be held to socialize and discuss the team’s progress. Every item of commitment above is kept track of in terms of ‘paws of progress’. A ‘paw of progress’ is a point. And every point adds up to be something wonderful for you and your team such as prizes, incentives and recognition. As you will find in your regular visits as well as being a part of the Share-A-Pet Family, sharing love is a two way street.
We hope you enjoy your volunteer commitment and find your time with us to be a fulfilling, life changing experience.
Sincerely,
Sachin Mayi
Share-A-Pet Founder
