Auxiliary Angeles
(no pet required)
CAN I HELP IF I DON'T HAVE A PET PARTNER? - ABSOLUTELY! Your help - with or without a pet - can help us provide the many benefits only a cold wet nose, furry toes and wagging tail can offer those in need via Therapeutic Health Care Visitation and Reading Education Assistance Dogs literacy mentoring programs. Please contact us if you would like to be included on our Auxiliary Volunteer email list, or our general email list, or if you have any questions about volunteer opportunities.
