April 11th is National Pet Day and Dog Therapy Appreciation Day, so come join other seniors in celebrating and spending time with pets and animals. This is a week to celebrate everyone’s favorite companion and share the love with those who have lost a pet. The Parks and Recreation Department is partnering with Woods Humane Society, SLO Animal Rescue, and SLODOG Caring Canines. You do not currently need a pet to appreciate and participate this week. All animal lovers are welcome! Read each day’s theme below.
