Pet therapy volunteers go visiting.

 The SPCA of Solano County also now has a pet therapy group that takes animals to visit our senior citizens at local assisted living facilities.  Many of these people had to give up their pets and love to have our pets and volunteers come spend some time where they can hold a cat on their lap for a little while.  This particular program is starting to take on a life of its own.  We are getting more and more people and pets wanting to join the program.  It is very rewarding for everyone and the program is run completely by volunteers.  It was developed by Derek Palm as a school project and is a very popular one.  Our pets and volunteers go every Sunday to different homes to spend time with the seniors.  This video is just some of their adventures!
