Monday, August 3, 2020 - 12:00pm

What are the joys and challenges of having a companion animal such as a dog, cat, rabbit, or other such critter as you age? The discussion will touch on the current status of CAF and its programs and funding (and the availability of companion animals locally), and also what the research shows about their value as companions and "teachers" of love, responsibility, and empathy. Get information on how to ensure that your animals are cared for when you pass.
