PAWS of CNY to Hold Pet Therapy Evaluations on June 4

OSWEGO – PAWS of CNY, Inc., continues to increase its volunteer base and expand its reach of pet therapy services in Oswego County. PAWS will hold Pet Therapy Evaluations at Paws and Effect, an Oswego-based dog daycare and training facility, on June 4 between 5  – 7 p.m. by appointment.

Individuals in the Oswego County area who are interested in becoming pet therapy certified by PAWS of CNY should apply at pawsofcny.org/apply.

Qualified applicants will be scheduled for an evaluation performed by a PAWS of CNY evaluator who assesses the pet on established criteria of temperament, basic obedience and the volunteer’s handler skills.

PAWS of CNY has been providing regular pet therapy services to nursing homes, schools and colleges, libraries, and at community events in Oswego for more than a decade.

PAWS is committed to remaining a reliable partner of pet-assisted wellness services to facilities in Oswego County, and adding Oswego-based, qualified pet therapy volunteer teams to its organization that will be critical in helping meet this commitment.

The test takes about fifteen minutes. Note, the PAWS of CNY certification does not certify emotional support dogs, guide dogs, and other service dogs.
