Animal society’s activities program seeks volunteers

DeKALB – TAILS Humane Society is seeking volunteers to visit human service organizations throughout DeKalb County with their pets.

The Pawsitive TAILS Animal Assisted Activities Program, funded by a grant from the Douglas C. and Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation, has focused on visiting assisted-living facilities but plans to expand to other types of organizations when it has more volunteers, according to a news release.

Dogs are the most popular species for animal assisted activities programs, but cats, birds, rabbits, potbellied pigs and miniature horses are welcome.
