Warm Hearts Network
Animal Humane’s Warm Hearts Network is a group of trained volunteers, human service professionals and dogs who provide Animal Assisted Activities and Animal Assisted Therapy throughout our community. Our human-animal teams are screened, tested, and then registered to visit healthcare facilities, schools, senior living and activity centers, hospice facilities, etc.
Become a Warm Hearts Team
Is your dog friendly, gentle, and well mannered? If so, you and your dog may work together to touch the lives of those in need by being a Warm Hearts team. To qualify for an evaluation, your dog must:
- Be at least 1 year old
- Have been a part of your family for at least 6 months
- Display exceptional behavior and personality traits
- Be extraordinarily tolerant
- Respond quickly and accurately to your cues in new environments with distractions
- Enjoy going to new places and meeting new people
If you feel that your pet is ready to begin the initial screening process, please make an appointment for you and your dog to meet with a Warm Hearts Network Evaluator by emailing warmheartsnetwork@animalhumanenm.org.
