4 PROGRAMS Pet Therapy Description The mission of the AWL's "Pet Therapy Program" is to brighten the lives of our seniors that reside at area nursing homes and assisted living facilities, while educating the community on the true importance of volunteerism. Our volunteers bring an adoptable dog on these friendly visits. Interaction with animals has shown to lower blood pressure, increase sensory stimulation, inspire a sense of purpose, increase social interactions and reduce loneliness by creating a sense of companionship.
