Our Mission:

Touching Lives & Warming Hearts through Human / Animal Interactions

Our volunteer teams of people and their pets enhance well-being through the power of human/animal interactions.

Composed of over 200 volunteer teams, KPETS provides over 10,000 hours of therapy each year at no cost to individuals. We strive to serve those in our communities at hundreds of facilities and agencies in South Central PA.

We thank you for considering a donation toward our mission to touch lives and warm hearts! Check out the links below to our website and social media to learn more. 

"You visited my mom at Oak Leaf Manor a few days before she died. She was a lifelong dog lover and when I told her there was a dog coming to visit she smiled and said, "In here?" Those were the last words she spoke and the last time I saw her smile. I cannot thank you enough for your gift of that special memory. You are the reason I joined KPETS - to try and give back in memory of my mother. " - Lani C.

Who We Are

Registered KPETS volunteers and their companion animals promote well-being and offer encouragement in our communities by sharing the power and benefits of human-animal interactions.

Serving local communities in health-related facilities, social agencies, special-needs programs, schools, libraries, retirement communities and hospices, KPETS teams readily visit wherever the human/animal connection may be beneficial.
