How did you get involved with this?! I'm in DC and would love to have Winston be a part!
I found it online when I was looking to get involved with pet therapy. A lot of other pet therapy has intensive course training (i.e. Red Cross) but PAL is pretty quick and there is just 1 orientation and 2 sight visits. Once you are approved then you can start volunteering at a whole bunch of different places. You can go to their website and sign up for the orientation class if you are interested! It is such a great organization and you can be as involved as you like. If I didn't work (or was retired like I would to be ... although I am only 30 so its a long way off!) I would volunteer to be a mentor for students. There is a great program where you help after school with school work and also bring your dog! I wish I could do that but the times don't work out for me.
Hope this works out for you! Good luck!
