Pet Friend Visitation Program
The Pet Friend Visitation Program is designed to assist children in adjusting to hospitalization. Contact between children and approved dogs can range from simply watching a dog to petting, cuddling or even playing fetch and walking the dog in the hallway. Dogs must have had formal obedience training and have passed a screening by a Children's-approved veterinarian. Contact the Volunteer Services Department at 412-692-5185 or e-mail chpvolunteer@chp.edu to discuss the multi-step application process.
