Spokane hospitals invite back therapy dogs with call to expand canine care: ‘It lightens their load for just a few minutes’

Providence and MultiCare hospitals have renewed their call for registered pet therapy volunteers, after animal-assisted programs were halted during the pandemic. Both hospital systems plan to expand therapy dog visits if enough people sign up. The volunteers must meet requirements of Pet Partners, which screens and registers therapy animal handlers and their pets to visit hospitals and other sites.
