Burnaby Seniors' Mental Health - Pet Therapy Program

An application was received from BC Pets and Friends requesting a grant in support of a project to expand their pet therapy program to seniors living in Burnaby. Currently about 390 seniors in the care of 13 Burnaby-based senior care facilities receive weekly visits from a Pets and Friends pet therapy team. Seven other facilities in the City have asked for visits; however, Pets and Friends have been unable to accommodate these requests due to a lack of resources. Funding will go towards developing ten new volunteer pet/handler teams to deliver pet therapy visits to these waitlisted facilities which will provide mental health support to an additional 270 seniors.
