Organization Information

Pets and People is a group of students, staff and faculty and their pets from the Kansas State Veterinary College that is interested in demonstrating the human-animal bond. We are a subgroup of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) providing educational and therapy opportunities to local schools and nursing homes. All pets used in this program have passed the Delta Society Pet Partners temperament test to ensure the safety of all participants.

Nursing Home Visitation Program: Our pet visitation program takes student/faculty owned pets and school blood donor animals into area nursing homes for regularly scheduled visits once a month to each of three homes (St. Joseph, Stoneybrook, and Meadowlark).

Educational Program: We provide several programs on basic pet care, exotics, and environmental issues to area elementary and middle schools. The programs can be tailored to fit the needs of the individual class. The presentations are made utilizing the available visual aids and temperament tested animals.
