How We Partner With Great Facilities !

 WAGS Pet Therapy Teams are currently very busy!


 WAGS is currently at capacity for Team Visits to facilities.  There are already 25 facilities on our waiting list. As it is, we currently have a "hold" on new facility requests for the Fall season.  Please check back in December of 2025,  to see if we have reposted the link to submit an application.  As soon as we can accommodate filling any of these vacancies, you will see a button allowing you to complete a Application Form.  Until then please be patient.



Special "One Time Events" can be requested on the Contact Us page


Someone will contact you within 3-5 business days


We serve "Kentuckiana", primarily the Louisville metropolitan area, including nine counties in Kentucky (Jefferson, Oldham, Bullitt, Nelson, Meade, Shelby, Trimble, Henry, and Spencer) and five counties in Southern Indiana (Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott, and Washington). We extend into the outer areas when an actively committed team asks to consider your facility as their priority.


Not all of the people with WAGS pets pictured on our website are members. We respect the privacy and the health situation of the people we visit. We do not feature them on the site unless we have photo consents. We always follow the facility guidelines for safe visitation.
