New Blog for 2009 & 2010

Thank you all for checking this blog for the most up to date information about Polk County Pet Pals. This year (2011) we want more of you to go on visits more often. Since there seems to be a lot of confusion about when and where to visit we have provided a current list of facilities where we are welcome. You can visit at any time that fits your schedule just call ahead and make an appointment.

Things to consider BEFORE you visit:

Is your membership with TDI (Therapy Dogs Inc.) current? It needs to be renewed every year. Some facilities do not require this - check before visiting.

Have you had the vet update your Health Certification Form? This needs to be done yearly. You need to have this with you or in your car during all visits. If you need a copy please e-mail Katie Malone @ tricoach@windstream.net
