The Healing Power of Pet Assisted Therapy
By Franki Williams
Every Wednesday, volunteers from our Pet Assisted Therapy Program visit retirement homes and hospice care facilities throughout Ojai with their pets. They spend time with the residents giving them the opportunity to enjoy one-on-one time with the animals. At some facilities the residents enjoy playing catch with the dogs out in the courtyard, who fetch and bring the ball back and drop them in awaiting laps.
