About
Formed in 2004, SuperiorLand Pet Partners (SLPP) is a group of experienced dog handlers who provide Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) and Animal Assisted Activities (AAA). The handlers and animals are tested and registered as volunteer teams with Pet Partners, an international organization headquartered in Seattle, WA. SLPP was formed to bring individual pet partners together in a supportive atmosphere to promote the use of therapy animals in Marquette and surrounding communities.
SLPP has several registered teams in the Marquette area as well as the west and north ends of the U.P.. Our teams visit hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. We participate in various activities such as health fairs, bite prevention programs for children and Read To Me programs at Peter White Library along with other Read To Me events at local schools. Handler Classes and Skills Testings are 2 key processes for becoming a registered Pet Partner Team. SLPP provides both local Handler Classes and Skills and Aptitude Testing with trained Instructors and Evaluators certified with Pet Partners. The classes and testings are conducted quarterly. |
