Pet Partners is a service program of Delta Society. Pet Partner teams include dogs, cats, birds, and other domesticated animals, who, with their owners, visit nursing homes, hospitals, schools, treatment centers, and other facilities. These human-animal teams share their love and time with people who need it most and make a surprising difference!

If you are interested in giving to your community through the human-animal bond, please remember:

  • Recent, Basic Obedience Training is a requirement.
  • Your pet must be friendly with adults, children, and other animals.
  • Animal must be a year old.
  • Must complete the Delta Society Pet Partners Home Study Course which can be found at www.deltasociety.org

Upcoming Testing Dates:

  • Saturday, April 21, 2012
  • Saturday, July 21, 2012
  • Saturday, October 20, 2012
