"Wags for Hope" is a
non-profit organization that provides volunteers with their pets to bring joy to the lives
of others. We call on nursing homes, assisted living and hospice facilities, among
other places. In addition, we supply local libraries and schools with certified R.E.A.D.® teams, who are using their animals as a conduit to help improve the
literacy skills of the children in our community. We aspire to be a
"one-stop shopping" organization supplying animal visitations for therapy
purposes wherever needed in northwestern Maryland. We are always seeking volunteers
who would like to contribute a little of their time per month with their pets.
How much time you devote is strictly up to you. We would prefer a handler willing to
offer a minimum of two visits per month. You may be surprised how much you and
your pet(s) will benefit from this. We welcome folks without pets too!
