During our most recent WWAD at the Como Community Center, we were joined by Dr. Cynthia Jones from the Ft. Worth Humane Society. She spoke to our senior participants about the numerous health benefits of pet ownership, including both physical and mental advantages. Recognizing the challenges seniors face in affording veterinary care, the Ft. Worth Humane Society offers the "Rae of Hope" program. This initiative provides free basic preventative care—such as vaccines, microchipping, flea & tick treatment, and heartworm testing—to help seniors keep their beloved pets.
