Don’t leave pets in your car!  Outside temperatures as low as 72 degrees can heat up a car’s interior an average of 40 degrees within an hour, with 80% of that increase in the first 30 minutes. Cracked windows provides little relief from this oven effect.

Why Volunteer?

Volunteers make a difference in their community, build self esteem and confidence, support causes about which they feel strongly, meet new people, have fun, and express gratitude for help they have received in the past by "giving back". 

Volunteering with your pet..... Priceless!

Physician recognizes therapy animals are good medicine

Our own Dr. Mosca has been making a big impact with his therapy animal "Boz" -- a beautiful boxer from Tulsa Boxer Rescue. 

Everyday is take your dog to work day for Dr. Mosca and Boz, and the team visits hospital patients three days a week at Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation.  We've seen lots of press lately on this team.
