Pathways Animal Assisted Activities Volunteers

"For Rusty’s patient, it was like watching a child open up the Christmas present she always wanted or a sunrise after a long dark night."
-Judi Broyles and Rusty, Pathways Volunteers

Are you an animal lover with the heart of a volunteer?

Join our Pet Assisted Activities Program!

To determine if Pathways Pet Assisted Activities Program is right for you and your pet, ask yourself these questions:

• Does my pet have the right temperament to work with patients?
• Is he/she calm, gentle and alert and have a stable temperament?
• Is my pet able to follow basic commands?
• Can I invest the time in taking a pet assisted activities training and certification course?
  

If you are able to answer “yes” to these questions and would like more information about our program, contact:

• Shaguna Wilkes, Director of Volunteer Services at 408.773.4362 or email swilkes@pathwayshealth.org.
