Pet Partners® program
Delta Society's Pet Partners
program trains volunteers and screens volunteers and their pets for
visiting animal programs in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation
centers, schools and other facilities.
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.
