The Humane Animal Welfare Society and the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Waukesha County have partnered to assist seniors, their pets and caregivers. By pooling resources and working together, we can reach a larger segment of the community. We're calling this cooperative effort P.A.L.S., which stands for Pets Are Life Savers.
Anyone who has a pet knows about the joy and love they bring - sometimes these little beings are what give us a reason to get up in the morning!
The spirit of the P.A.L.S. partnership is to give seniors the tools that will allow them to keep their companion pets with them, longer. HAWS is providing reduced fee vet services, pet care counseling and just basic information as needed. ADRC is promoting the partnership and assisting with regular Pet Health Fairs.
Here is the information for the next Senior Caregivers Pet Health Fair. If you or someone you know might benefit, please get in touch with us here at HAWS, or contact the ADRC. We'll see you soon!
