The Pets on Wheels of Scottsdale “UPDATE newsletter” is issued a few weeks prior to each quarterly meeting. It lists new volunteer-pet teams, announces past and future activities, and contains useful pet health and training information, and general volunteer news. Volunteers and applicants receive PDF copies through the Internet — all others receive hard copies.
If you and your pet would like to become volunteers, review all the menus under Become a Volunteer. Click the following link “How to Become a Volunteer”.
Meetings with volunteers (only a few pets by invitation) are held every 3 months. Speakers or films are featured on dealing with the elderly, pet care and health, and pet training. Golf and T-shirts are available as well as 50-50 drawings and door prizes. The October meeting each year is to recognize the volunteer-pet teams who have done exceptionally well. An awards program is featured, followed by a popular pet costume and trick show. Review the “Calendar” for meeting information.
All of our active volunteer teams are featured in the “Volunteer Teams” album. As new volunteers join our team, they are featured for one month in the “New Volunteers” album.
The “Volunteer Dog Hall of Fame” album features photos and information honoring pets for outstanding efforts
over a period of time. Each pet in the Hall of Fame made over 250 visits to Care Centers contributing significantly to our visiting therapy dog program. Inductions are made following retirement and can be made posthumously.
