If you’re hoping to catch the Katherine Heigl flick “One for the Money” this weekend, your options are few in the Milwaukee area.

Therapy Visit to Care-Age on Valentine’s Day 2012

Two and four-legged friends from Elmbrook Humane Society's Therapy Team hope to spread love and kindness to the residents of Care-Age of Brookfield this Valentine's Day.   Members of Elmbrook Humane Society's Therapy Team will be visiting residents at this senior facility on February 14, 2012 from 4-5pm.

This year Valentine's Day arrives on a Tuesday and many of the residents may not have family or friends visiting so the team is thrilled to give the residents of Care-Age a special Valentine’s Day visit.  Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love and what better way to spread love than with a group of canines!  The dogs and their handlers will be passing out homemade cookies, candy, Valentine’s Day cards, and flowers donated by Dolores Kopp owner of D’s City Chic Flowers and Gifts in Brookfield. 

Jet is a super-handsome black Labrador Retriever.  He is about 6 years old and full of life!

Currently Jet is working with our Mod Squad!  HAWS’ Mod Squad is a group of volunteers from within our Behavior Department who team up with adoptable HAWS’ dogs, teaching them basic skills and helping them brush-up on their manners.

Jet’s best-bet adoptive home would be one with kids over 12 years of age, and one where he is the only pet (Jet is still working on some possessiveness issues).  A trainer at HAWS will gladly go through all of Jet’s needs to make sure you’re ready for success!
