Pet Power has been serving local communities for nearly 25 years with a mission of enhancing communications and relationships between generations and with those in facilities or in group settings with the help of animal companions. The Parkville Living Center has partnered with Pet Power to continue this amazing volunteer-led program.
Pet Power was originally formed nearly 25 years ago by Sharen Hunt with the support and council committee of MU Extension Platte County. Pet Power started working with local pet owners and veterinarians to develop a Volunteer Contract, Health Form and Pet Temperament Test, which pet owning volunteers would need to have their pets pass, per the local veterinarian, in order to then take their pets as comfort/emotional-support animals to our northland senior and group living facilities. Over the years Pet Power has has created numerous positive impacts the lives of many northlanders. Today this legacy continues under the umbrella of the Parkville Living Center.
