Many people have been inspired
by Moritz and by Nose to Nose, and have asked
ways they can help in similar ways. We've
collected some links to organizations and programs you
should know about. Whether it's joining a pet therapy
program or donating to a charitable organization, we
think these are useful and informative sites.

Pet Therapy |
Pet
therapy is what Barry and Moritz do, as
described in Nose to Nose. Volunteers bring
their pets to hospitals, rehabilitation centers,
nursing homes, and other care facilities;
patients are revitalized and made happy by
visits from gentle, soothing animals. In order
to participate in a pet therapy program,
volunteers generally need to undergo training
and testing. Here are some organizations that
can tell you more about the requirements of
their programs, facilities they visit, and
benefits of therapy.
