After these materials are
received, you will be
contacted to set up your observation
of an experienced Social Pet
Therapy team doing a routine
visit. This is your time
to ask questions and watch how
another volunteer approaches
the residents and handles his
or her animal during the
visit. After this Observation
Visit, a CAAA volunteer
will contact you for your
first Evaluation Visit
with your animal. The
Evaluator will accompany you
and make any suggestions to
get the most out of your
future visits, both for your
pet and for the elderly.
Our goal is to schedule
your Observation and
Evaluation visits as soon as
possible. Keep in
mind, however, that CAAA's
Social Pet Therapy program
is 100% administered by
volunteers who have their
own pet therapy visits, plus
work and family time
commitments. Under
normal circumstances, you
will be contacted in
approximately two weeks to
schedule your first
observation.
Should you
have any questions,
please call 602 258 3306
and leave your
name, telephone number,
a good time to reach
you, and your
question. Your
call will be returned
as soon as
possible.
