[quote=Anonymous]Re: pets. I know that in Laurel and Columbia, MD, there are a couple of volunteer groups that have dogs that have some training in being assistance pets and they periodically take them to nursing homes and senior centers for visits on weekends. One such organization often has a table at the local street fairs, etc and they take donations. Such donations help with training some of the dogs, or help cover transportation costs and other incidentals for the pets to go on these visits. I also know some shelters that do visiting pets. Check with an animal shelter near your mother's new residence and see if you could make a donation to have someone do weekend pet visits to the residence so your mother could visit with a pet without having to be responsible for the care of the pet.[/quote]
