"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!
