Orientation Meetings are generally held once a month at a local nursing home. Please contact your local Director to see if your dog can attend this meeting.
(See our website calendar for dates and locations in your area)

Meetings last between one and one & a half hours. The first portion involves meeting the volunteers, filling out forms, and providing information about the organization.

We will discuss the various volunteering opportunities for those interested in the Assistant Program and then go into specific details of the Pet Program and the do's and dont's of Pet Assisted Therapy.

The second half of the meeting will be dedicated to observing Pet Assisted Therapy.

Things to bring:

• A check for $50 made out to Share-A-Pet if you have not already paid online.

For the Pet Program please also bring

• A copy of your pet's recent rabies vaccination

The Orientation Meeting will complete the Membership Process for those volunteering for the Assistant Program. Photos will be taken for the Assistant Program volunteer badges, so come prepared!
