Montgomery Pet Partners
Libraries and Schools
Children learning to read, with reading difficulties, or simply wanting to improve their reading skills, have benefited greatly from attending our library R.E.A.D.® program. Having the dog/handler team with the child helps the child relax, focus on reading and enjoy the story. Many children who have difficulty with reading have gained tremendous confidence and abilities from time spent with a reading team. Montgomery Pet Partners works with The Montgomery County Memorial Library System, both at The Central Library in Conroe and The South Regional Library in The Woodlands.
Healthcare
Our teams go to hospitals to interact with patients who have been through surgery or sickness. The instant smiles received when these patients see our pets are enough to make visits worthwhile. Each visit is as different as the patients themselves. Some pet the animals and talk about their own pet experiences. Some like to hear about what we do as a group. Some are just grateful for the company of both the pet and the partner.
Assisted Living & Senior Residences
At assisted living facilities and senior residences, a visit from one of our teams usually turns into a long visit with a group of seniors. Stories about pets from their past or questions about our pets lead to interesting discussions. Many times a tear or two is shed while sharing these stories. Everyone in the group gets to pet, brush or throw a ball to our furry friends. It is a bright spot in a sometimes-dull day to these individuals.
