Local businesses, community organizations, senior centers and families are invited to host dogs, cats, puppies and kittens during the holidays.
The Humane Society for Southwest Washington will have Cuddle Squads available to visit sites in the area Wednesday, Dec. 16, and Thursday, Dec. 17.
“Holidays can be a stressful time,” said Sam Ellingson, outreach and strategic partnership coordinator for the HSSW. “People are working hard and making shopping lists. They need time to relax and take a break.”
The visits with four to six animals will be by donation to the Humane Society, 15 minutes for $200, 30 minutes for $300 and one-hour for $600.
“Offices give generously during the holidays,” Ellingson said.
The one-hour donors are guaranteed visits and will include two Cuddle Squads.
The HSSW staff and volunteers will bring hot cocoa and cookies for people and blankets and toys for the animals.
