How does the Jane Haze Memorial Pet Therapy Fund reimburse my cost of the class?

The Jane Haze Memorial Pet Therapy Fund may reimburse the costs of the classes if you and your dog pass the Delta test. Once your dog is registered with the Delta Society, if you are interested and accepted into our Volunteer Program (at Southington Care Center, Mulberry Gardens, The Orchards, Jerome Home, Arbor Rose, or The VNA of Central CT), you will need to commit to 1 year of service to receive full reimbursement. In the event that you and your dog pass the coursework and evaluation, you may request 50% reimbursement ($90) after 6 months of service and the remaining balance after 1 year of service. You and your dog must make a minimum of 2 visits each month to fulfill the obligation.
