Has anyone volunteered with any of the Pet Therapy Groups. I have previously been a volunteer myself with various people charities but would appreciate advice from anyone with pet experience.

I was with Irish therapy dogs until my bernese mountain dog passed away. They have a nice group of people & a good ethic. We wear a uniform the visits are weekly to an alloted carehome or hospice and the dog & handler are insured. Well worth doing and so nice for the elderly especially the ones who have no one to visit.
