REQUESTING a SPECIAL VISIT
Loving Animals Providing Smiles has supported many community groups with one-time
or annual visits for special occasions.
We can provide
schools with information and demonstrations about dog safety, similar to the program
we’ve done at Browns Valley Elementary School for many years. We recently visited
an after-school program for primary school students in Benicia, which included reading
practice with our trained CAPERS (“Children and Pets Enjoy Reading Success”)
teams. CAPERS teams can support a read-a-thon or other reading activity.
We can meet with facility staff at an in-service training session and share ideas on
how best to utilize AAT teams with the facility’s specific client population.
We can speak on animal-assisted therapy to private groups, as we have done for the
Kiwanis and other local service clubs.
Our teams
have made presentations at the Napa Senior Center, Chef’s Market Pet Night, Napa
Premium Outlets Pet Appreciation Day, and on Positively Napa, community access Channel
28’s program hosted by Tim Wilson.
We have also brought our teams to visit at the ParentsCan and Elks Club Christmas parties.
If your group is interested in a Special LAPS visit, please complete the
Request
and mail or fax to us. A volunteer will contact you.
