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

2010 Training Announced

The dates of the training have been set. There may be some slight changes as we go depending on how many people participate in the training but please plan on these dates and locations for now.

Please let me know if you are planning to attend and when or if you would like to be taken off this list. Once you respond I will let you know where you can pick up your paperwork that needs to be completed BEFORE the training. Call or e-mail 864-415-5804 or tricoach@windstream.net

You are required to attend 3 of these training sessions. Your first training session is preferably going to be one of the first 3 because that is when we will be going over the introduction and the initial training video will be shown. During the first training session you will also be asked to commit to when and where you plan to be visiting over the year. You are required to make 8 visits over the course of the year. They can be at any location but must be documented. If you are unable to commit to visiting on a regular basis you will not be allowed to continue through the training.
