The Bond Between Community Animal Visit Program Volunteer Interest
The Bond Between Hope program offers companion animal visits to assisted living communities, group homes, and other facilities in the Twin Cities Metro area. The goal is to provide both humans and animals with comfort, socialization and companionship. You as a volunteer, will bring your personal animal, to participate in the visits. Each dog or cat MUST pass a temperament evaluation with The Bond Between staff in order to make the experience both enjoyable and safe for everyone involved.

Our volunteers are held to a high level of responsibility and dedication to the program and are expected to be responsive and involved. We would love to have you join us if you feel this will be a good fit!

Below are the The Bond Between Hope Program requirements:

- Successful completion of a temperament evaluation for the pet with The Bond Between staff
- Completion of the The Bond Between volunteer application and electronically signed volunteer agreement
- Proof of a current rabies vaccine for participating pet
- Participating pet must be OWNED by the volunteer.
- Participating pet must have lived with you for a minimum of 3 months (including fostering, if applicable).
- Dogs must be a minimum of 12 months in age. There is no age requirement for cats at this time.
- The program REQUIRES a minimum commitment of 1 regularly scheduled visit a month, approximately 1-2 hours at a time. The visit will most often occur at the same location, on a regularly rotating schedule (i.e. the 2nd Saturday of the month at 11am, every month). Please consider if you can commit to this expectation LONG TERM before completing this form.
