Welcome Happy Tails! Ontario ARC is excited to announce a new partnership between
Pet Connections and our friends at Happy Tails. Starting Tuesday, April 17, dogs from the shelter will begin visiting our Main Facility on Tuesdays and Fridays for socialization and obedience training. These dogs are carefully screened and undergo a test for temperament to ensure everyone’s safety.
This new partnership has many wonderful benefits for both Ontario ARC and Happy Tails:
- Individuals who are interested in finding employment as a dog walker, pet sitter or kennel assistant can boost their resumes
- Potential adopters will know that the dog has been around people and receive training as a result of Pet Connections
- The people in our programs will continue to feel the powerful impact pets can have on their physical and social skills
- Kennels at the shelter will have a picture of the participants who worked with that dog, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment
We are very excitied about this new opportunity and the potential it offers to the people we support at Ontario ARC. If you have any question about this partnership or Pet Connections, please contact Gail Furst at gfurst@ontarioarc.org or (585) 919-2146.
i wish we had a program like that at our arc seneca-cayuga arc
