Pets For Life Inc

Based in Kansas City, Pets for Life is a pet therapy organization serving people through interactive visits with certified therapy teams and human volunteers. Its teams make scheduled visits to hospitals, nursing facilities, domestic violence shelters, mental health centers, schools, and hospice centers throughout the greater Kansas City area. Visits are also available for special events, group meetings, and conferences. Pets for Life provides testing, certification, support, and insurance for people who volunteer with their pets. Testing assesses whether each person and animal have the temperament for therapy work. Volunteers bring screened pets to partner facilities, where the teams offer social, mental, and physical stimulation through animal interaction. The organization also coordinates volunteer placements with facilities across the Kansas City Metro area.
