Registration Packet Contents

The following forms are included in the Registration Packet:

1. Photo ID Form – we use this information on your identification badge. Be sure to print or type the information to avoid any errors on your ID badge. If you belong to a group and wish to have the name of the group on the badge, please include it. If you do not want your full name and city/state on the badge, please let us know. Make sure to send the required photos, too.
2. Application Form – we use this information for our records and processing.
3. Volunteer Policies and Procedures Agreement Form – review your Pet Partners team responsibilities as outlined in the Pet Partners Team Training Course Manual. Sign and date this form. If you are under 18 a parent or legal guardian must also sign this form.
4. Volunteer Review – the questions review the important material covered in the Pet Partners Team Training Course. Take your time and work at your own pace. Use the review as a way to assure yourself that you are well prepared to visit with your pet.
5. Handler's Questionnaire – complete this form before the animal is screened for skills and aptitude. Make a copy for the Team Evaluator and bring it to the evaluation. This form helps the evaluator understand your pet’s responses.
6. Animal Health Screening Forms – It is a good idea to make a copy of the introduction letter and forms and send them to your veterinarian before you schedule the appointment for screening. This will help your veterinarian plan the right amount of time for the procedure. Make sure your veterinarian completes all sections of the health screening forms or the entire packet will be returned. You must have a current rabies vaccination and a fecal exam done within the last 6 months with a negative result or your packet will be returned.
1. Note: You may attach a signed health form from your veterinarian which indicates that it meets or exceeds the Pet Partners health requirements.
7. Volunteer Contact Form – this form lets us know more about you and your animal.
