We started Pets Together as a response to the pandemic. Many, especially those who live in housing facilities like nursing homes or long-term care, were facing dangerous increases in feelings of isolation and loneliness.
With Pets Together, we hosted video chats for those living in long-term care facilities so that they could interact with people and their pets.
The program has since spun off as its own entity and is run by Virtual Senior Center. You can find out more here.
