Pet Partners Evaluation

Volunteers receive comprehensive coursework taken in person or online that highlights skills and strategies necessary for therapy animal work.

After they pass their course, our volunteers participate in an in-person evaluation that assesses their therapy animal teamwork (handler plus animal equals team) and the handler’s proficiency in understanding and demonstrating YAYABA™ and PETS™, as well as the animal’s sociability and aptitude for visiting people in different scenarios.

You can take the online course by signing up here:

Complete your registration requirements and you may then sign up for this evaluation date.

Note: Teams will be given a time slot of about 30-45 min between the time frame noted.

Note: If you are not ready to evaluate yet, but would like to see "first-hand" what a team evaluation looks like, please let us know via our Facebook messenger and someone will be in touch.
