Have you met Julie & Sam yet? This wonderful North Star Therapy Animals team will be featured at Chuck & Don's Pet Food & Supplies in Bloomington, MN this Sunday (Nov 11) from Noon to 2pm.

Bring your pet (dog, cat, bunny, rat, bird, or guinea pig) to meet NSTA volunteers and take our quiz to see if your animal has the temperament for therapy animal visits.

Bring your kids too! Did you know that even 10 year-olds and their pets can become registered therapy animal teams? What a great volunteer experience for the next generation! ... See MoreSee Less
