Louisburg pet owners are invited to become part of the Pets for Life volunteer team by attending an open house event March 8 sponsored by Personable Pets Inc. Dog Training of Louisburg, Sympawtico Dog Training.

The event will be from 1 to 3 p.m. March 8 at Tails ‘R Waggin, 6976 W. 152nd Terr., Overland Park.   

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet some of the therapy dogs — including Sadie Vialle, owned by Karla and Gene Vialle of Louisburg, talk with volunteers and watch as these teams demonstrate some of the skills necessary to pass the Pets for Life temperament test. Volunteers will also supply information about the types of facilities they visit, and will share stories of some of their therapy experiences.

The purpose of Pets for Life is to enhance the care and treatment of people in local hospitals, nursing homes, shelters for domestic violence, mental health programs, treatment centers for youth and corrections facilities through the use of certified therapy teams of pets and volunteers. The organization’s pet and volunteer teams serve 75 facilities in the Kansas City area, including facilities in Clay, Cass and Jackson counties in Missouri, and Johnson, Miami and Wyandotte counties in Kansas.

This event is for human volunteers only.

For more information, visit the Pets for Life Web site at www.kcpetsforlife.com, or call (816) 363-3665 for more information about the organization’s upcoming orientation sessions.
