Submit a Volunteer Opportunity

Thank you for your interest in having Pet Partners therapy animal teams visit your facility!

By completing and submitting this form, your volunteer opportunity will be available to our nearly 14,000 active therapy animal teams nationwide. (Postings are visible only to our volunteers and will not be seen by the general public.) Postings will remain active for six months unless you contact Pet Partners to request removal. You are welcome to repost anytime you are actively seeking volunteers.

Identifying and scheduling volunteers is the sole responsibility of the facility. Pet Partners publicizes volunteer opportunities to our registered teams, but we are unable to fulfill specific requests. Volunteers contact facilities where they would like to visit and will work with you to identify a mutually agreeable schedule. Please keep in mind that teams may not be available in all areas.

Do you have a special request where you would like Pet Partners teams to participate at your upcoming convention, industry expo, employee event, or something similar? Contact Traci Pryor at katiek@petpartners.org to learn more.
