Maybe she should volunteer to answer the phones.

My dog and I are part of Pets on Wheels in St. Mary's. (We visit at Bayside.) Michael Capps runs the CC/St. Mary's group. PM me and I'll do my best to answer any questions you have.

I put a call into Michael Capps about 3 weeks ago and never heard back from him. I wanted to see if your group wanted to attend a large event my store is hosting June 29. There are approx 12 local animal rescue groups, CC Animal Control, Calvert K9 Search and Rescue Team, Pets with Disabilites, a mobile groomer, dog trainer and more! I was hoping to get someone from your group to talk to people about therapy dogs and what your group does.
Are you available on Sunday June 29?

Michael can be hard to get in touch with. I'm not sure I can "represent" Pets on Wheels since I don't run it, but I definitely could speak about therapy dogs and mention POW.

When you say your store, are you talking about Pepper's Pet Pantry? What is the timeframe on the 29th?

Pets on Wheels is a therapy animal organization that coordinates animal (dogs, cats, even a pot bellied pig, etc.) visits to local nursing homes. The animals need a health certificate and a temperment test.

Each week my dog, Cody, and I go to visit at Bayside (in Lex Park). Our chapter of POW covers St. Mary's and Charles counties.

Good luck waiting for that phone call, we've ben waiting since May. In the meantime the dog as an appointment to get health checked, then we'll see from there.

My daughter has the health cert. for the dog, she has already been through the temperment screening, what next? Still haven't heard anything from this group. Does anybody know if they go to Leonardtown Nursing home?

My hamster loves his wheel...
