2018-07-10 06:20:06 PM dianep The aviary came from a bird rescue facility. They build their own aviaries and supply the food, cleaning of cage- all we are responsible for is watching them
2018-07-10 06:20:15 PM kssmith Pet therapy is great! We used to have a miniature pig named Picasso that visited. He was so awesome! Loved being pet.
2018-07-10 06:20:18 PM jessicaw87 I contacted our county 4H but never could get calls back from clubs :(

2018-07-10 06:21:38 PM norae that's the thing about assisted living, everyone thinks they have money so it can be hard to get "free stuff"
2018-07-10 06:21:52 PM tealbesing I love the idea of staff bringing in their pets
2018-07-10 06:22:00 PM cpierce me too

2018-07-10 06:22:13 PM kathy52 yes
2018-07-10 06:22:18 PM kathyhughes You can also check your Home Schoolers to see if they would bring in their pets and share them with the residents
2018-07-10 06:22:23 PM paulathessen we were just bought, no budget, rely on fundraisers
2018-07-10 06:22:24 PM norae yes...i don't know about your laws but I have to have all their vacinations on file
2018-07-10 06:22:25 PM tealbesing I'm gonna ask too

2018-07-10 06:23:01 PM mariaslayton Naming or Calling that lady......."Crazy Cat Lady" it is not appropiated, I would stop that inmediately (of course in a nice and professional way), we need to help them to understand the meaning of Respect and Love from one to each other.
2018-07-10 06:23:08 PM calixc3 also some of the day cars have class pets that the day care can bring the animals and the kids over and they can do a presentation
2018-07-10 06:23:10 PM jessicaw87 My dog went to our facility once but we ran into a problem. Because he was only used to my family and we don't smoke and are all white and hispanic he actually barked at black people and smokers at the facility...it was interesting
2018-07-10 06:23:25 PM trisha1903 great idea!
2018-07-10 06:24:34 PM lorik I have one dog that would probably love visiting, but the other would be miserable
