Beautiful boy! I have a question for you--
Did you have to get Toby certified to go to the nursing home, or are you just able to take him?
Hey there,
We first called and spoke with the activities director. We brought Toby into the nursing home, with her invite, and to let her observe how he reacted to the residents and their walkers and wheelchairs. Nothing phased him. By her observing him she said she would love for us to bring him regularly. There are some nursing homes that request you bring in a state registration of the dog, Texas has that.
Just call and ask to speak to the activities director. Let them know about your dog and its demeanor. Let them know that you would really like to volunteer your dog to pay visits to the residents on a weekly basis. If that nursing home allows animals to come through, ask to bring the dog in for the director to observe their interactions. Hope this helps.
