Mandy, 14 years old, (owned by Joan
and John Kemp) has served as an
Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) and
Animal Assisted Activities (AAA)
partner with her owner, Joan Kemp,
since she was three months old when
hospital therapists gave her a baby
shower complete with
poster, streamers and a baby book to
record a paw print and lock of fur.
( She has filled the footprints of
the beloved Hobeau, UDT)
Mandy
and Joan are registered by the Delta
Society International.
After 8 years with Pets For Life
they joined the newly formed MO-KAN
Pet Partners. MO-KAN offers a
Delta evaluation every three
months. New members who become
registered can shadow an active
volunteer in the area they wish to
work.
Many
of their visits over the years have
been to patients in Mid America
Rehabilitation Institute. In the
past few years Mandy and Joan have
encouraged elementary children to
read. For 4 years they listened to
readers at Oak Park School.
