Pets on Wheels is an all-volunteer program sponsored by the Fairfax Area Agency
on Aging and is a United Way agency (#8907). FPOW provides pet therapy
with teams of animals and their human companions who regularly visit area
long-term care facilities. Last year, organization volunteers provided
over 8,000 hours of service, improving the quality of life for residents by
allowing them to interact with animals.
2013
is the 26th anniversary of Fairfax Pets on Wheels caring and
sharing in the community.
