Pets on Wheels is a not-for-profit volunteer 501c3 organization that provides friendly visits from volunteers and their pets to those requiring the support of an institutional setting. Visits are most often to nursing homes; however, assisted living communities & facilities for the physically and mentally challenged are also recipients of our visits. Many of the patients that we visit have impaired cognative abilities due to specific illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, many of these people react to animals with more awareness than they do the people around them. Pets love unconditionally, even when a person is no longer physically attractive, even-tempered, or agile. Their warmth makes a difference to those they visit.
