Therapy Pets

Serving Mini-Cassia Inc.

The Minidoka and Cassia County area in southern Idaho

Welcome! Therapy Pets serving Mini-Cassia is an all volunteer organization and we need more volunteers.

Pet therapy is the improvement of human health and comfort through positive interaction with well behaved animals.

Therapy Pets Serving Mini-Cassia is a local group of volunteers that are registered either through the Delta Society or by Therapy Dogs Inc. We are working together to serve the Mini-Cassia area. We are currently visiting nine local facilities. If you have passed your evaluation with your pet and wish to join our group we would be glad to have you. Additional teams are always welcome to join. The number of visits and choice of facilities are up to each member.  We now down to seven handlers and 10 pets giving us a total of eleven teams.

Current News

We have had a tough year with people traveling for work, ill people and dogs. Reggie has had to retire due to health issues, Ellie has been diagnosed with Cancer and will be retiring this year, and Sassy has an injury that keeps flaring up keeping her from being able to visit. Hopefully things will get better! The scone booth from the 4th did well and our share of the profits was a little over $1,900 which will cover our expenses for the year. If you are interested in volunteering, need more information, or making a donation, please contact us at therapypets@yahoo.com. Thank you, we look forward to meeting you!!
