| For our homes we require that the dog have a certificate of health with vaccination record and references that he dog is well socialized. We haven't had any problems in any of our homes and use this service in 3 states. Check with local nursing homes in your area and they can probably put you in touch with someone. Good luck and I do hope you will pursue this, it is a great benefit to the elderly residents, they look forward so much to the visits! |
