We have about six dogs for the Dogs in the Dorm project in three weeks.

There is going to be a Team Evaluation in Michigan over Memorial

Still looking for people to sign up for the May 4th, handler's course. There is still plenty of room.

Dogs in the Dorm

Our pet therapy group, PAWS 4 PATIENTS, have been invited to a local college to offer relaxation time to the students during finals.  We did this last year and it was the most popular dorm event of the year.

Watch this space for pictures in a few weeks.

Just a reminder, any dogs that are going to be therapy dogs, may not eat a raw protein diet. See the Deltasociety.org website for more information.

membership

We get lots of requests from people for getting involved with PAWS 4 PATIENTS. We are located in the Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park area, just west of Chicago. We have more teams than places to put them, so we have had to limit membership to people who live in the immediate area.

There are plenty of places in the Chicago and suburbs where animal assisted therapy takes place. Check out the Delta directory for the listing of other Illinois Pet Partner teams and see where they are located.

parade

Getting ready for the 4th of July Parade on July 4 at 1 PM. Stepping off from Adams and Ridgeland in Oak Park. Come our and see us.
