Our Little Lord Alfie's puppy love has helped to lick loneliness through Pets on Wheels, Inc . This program, which uses cold noses to warm hearts, is featured throughout the many counties in our state of Maryland. We have become involved with Pets on Wheels in Howard County through its Coordinator, Tricia Robson. She is the very special and wonderful lady who gave us our Friendship Darcy Makena NA NAJ CGC, here at the Land of PureGold . Pets on Wheels is a friendship visitation program of volunteers and their pets.
Happy times are all too few for many confined to nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions.
But, a cold, wet nose and a wagging tail can actually warm hearts and cause loneliness to disappear. Pets with their unconditional love, have a power beyond any words - the power to heal loneliness and isolation. You, too, can share the love of your pet. Then you'll be able to participate in short weekly visits to those who don't have regular visits from family or friends. An orientation is held that includes a supervised initial visit.
