Pet Visitation

The Capital Area Humane Society Pet Visitation program lets volunteers make a difference not only in the lives of animals but also in the lives of people.

Our Pet Visitation program is putting smiles on the faces of both humans and animals alike, as volunteers take shelter animals to area nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and adult day care facilities.

This program brings joy and lifts spirits of all those involved. The hosts benefit from the unconditional love and attention that the furry critters provide and the animals benefit by getting out of their cages and receiving extra socialization. Many of the people visited have been forced to leave their pets behind in their former homes, which is a very difficult situation for them. Having a furry friend around really has the ability to brighten someone’s day. It is an extremely rewarding experience for everyone involved.
