The
Fur Angels made a visit to Eureka Heights Elementary School recently.
The
"Fur Angels" are a group in southeastern Michigan and a 501(c)
non-profit organization, solely comprised of volunteers offering compassion
through pet therapy. They train their own dogs to succeed in the mission.
The
standards require all of our dogs to be evaluated and temperament tested, as
well as pass specific tests know as Canine Good
Citizenship (C.G.C) and Bright and
Beautiful Therapy Dog Certification, before they can become a
"Fur Angel" and earn their wings.
The
group was formed in November 1998 with only a handful of caring people.
Today they can say they have grown considerably, enabling them to extend out
pet therapy to more facilities and a wider range of programs, such as visiting
numerous hospice centers, nursing homes and hospitals.
