Our Program
Caring Critters is a non-profit, all volunteer, Houston-area
organization. Our group is comprised of people and their animals participating
in Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) activities. Since 1988, Caring
Critters has enhanced the lives of our clients by providing them
opportunities for interaction with animals in a positive, nurturing
environment.
Our Volunteers
Caring Critters has over 200 volunteers making scheduled visits to
over 25 facilities in the greater Houston
area. These include nursing homes, hospitals, psychiatric and
rehabilitation centers and classrooms for special-needs children. With
a few exceptions, visits are twice a month for an hour. AAT visits are
made weekdays, evenings and weekends.
Getting Involved
The prospective new volunteers must attend an all day orientation
workshop. Workshops are held twice each year, in the Spring and the
Fall. The following Saturday you will return for one hour at your
convenience for temperament testing.
The next workshop is Saturday, March 29, 2008. Requests for applications will be
accepted beginning January 1, 2008 through January 22, 2008. Workshop information and
applications will be mailed in early February.
