"In our local community there are so many shelter dogs and cats in need of loving homes, and we've found that the seniors we care for experience immeasurable benefits from pet ownership," said Beth Kapperman, owner of Always Best Care of Greenwood. "Studies continue to prove that pet ownership helps lower stress levels, blood pressure and depression. By teaming up with PetSmart and the Humane Society of Greenwood, we plan to cover pet adoption fees in an effort to combat the ongoing issue of depression in Americans over the age of 65. We're excited to help connect seniors and their loved ones with pets in need of a home."
