What does a dog have to do in order to visit hospitals? Other Pet Discussions
I want to take my 9 y/o blue heeler/catahoula to once of the local hospitals to cheer up pediatric, oncology and cardiac patients? What will be required of her in order to visit. She has a minor heart condition that doesn't have any negative affects on her, other than having to take medicine. So I think that the cardiac patients would enjoy having something in common with her. She's really sweet, patient, loyal and disciplined. She is also very obediant. I think that she would be a great candidate for any programs that might allow her to go to hospitals.If she can't go to hospitals do you think that nursing homes would be happy to have her visit?I laready have the AKC's Canine Good Citezen Progran Participant's Handbook, we have foound an evaluator in our area and are working toward the goal of a certificate.
