KPETS leaders Sheree Dietz and Gregg Maberry spent a morning with us sharing a slideshow presentation all about the Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services.

KPETS serves local communities in social agencies, special-needs programs, schools, retirement communities, hospices and more. More than 400 registered volunteers and their companion animals promote well-being and offer encouragement by sharing the power and benefits of human-animal interaction. Their services are free of charge. In addition to the informative presentation Sheree and Gregg’s companions, Skye and Hobbes demonstrated tricks and obedience skills and took time to visit with all in attendance.
