Love on a Leash!
Pawsitive Pets pet assisted therapy services works with rehabilitation facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, hospitals, hospice, public libraries, schools and more. Our teams volunteer their time and love sharing the comfort, healing and connection of the human animal bond. Our animals give unconditional love to people of all ages with physical, social, emotional, academic and cognitive needs. We depend upon the commitment of our volunteers and rely on the kindness of people like you so that we can continue this important service for our communities! Contact us if you would like to have a pet assisted therapy team in your facility or donate by sponsoring a team! Learn more - FAQ's! |
 We invite you to join us as we improve the reading skills of children in North Florida! Along with specially trained and certified dogs, our volunteer literacy mentors implement the international R.E.A.D. program to help kids read better while having fun! The intent of the R.E.A.D. program is to have children read to the therapy animals. Research with therapy animals indicates that children with low self-esteem are often more willing to interact with an animal than another person and they are inclined to forget about their limitations. The premise of the R.E.A.D. program is that children will find reading to an animal less intimidating and a special time for them that is helpful and fun and will become a positive environment in which learning is facilitated.
Contact us if you would like to implement R.E.A.D. in your school or donate by sponsoring a child!
