Pet-a-Pet

Pet-a-Pet is a program where our volunteers take their own pets to nursing homes and long term care units to visit with the residents as pet therapy. Frequently, these pets were originally adopted from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay so it is an excellent way for these pets to pay their community back for supporting the animals.

To an elderly or terminally ill person who loves pets but can no longer have one, petting a cat or having their hand licked by a dog makes a huge difference in their quality of life even if it is just for that one moment. The smiles on their faces say it all.
