@avmcbellar. I know for a fact this facility won't adopt a pet, but when I lived in a different facility five years ago we had a weekly visit by a Care Dog and his handler. The dog was a gentle golden lab and he loved belly rubs, being petted, and being doted upon by the residents. It was wonderful to see him come wagging his tail furiously as he entered our space! "Maybe" my present facility would consider that plan, although that awesome dog and handler are now retired.
