April 8 2:00 pm Pet Therapy of the Ozarks (PTO) has teamed up with Burrell Behavioral Health and Show-Me Hope to bring Zoom-based virtual pet therapy to southwe...st Missouri seniors served by SeniorAge. It’s almost like having an adorable dog to love on in your home. After greetings and introductions, PTO members on the Zoom call show off their dogs which are their own personal pets and talk about them. You will learn all about how the PTO members got their dogs, what kind of dogs they are, whether they are rescue dogs, etc. The PTO folks are happy to take questions. Some of the dogs are trained to do more than pet therapy. They also do tricks! So, you can expect a tricks show or two. Join us on this exciting ZOOM call by visiting this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87586004670... See more
