Volunteer describes donkey visits to local care homes, upcoming visit to Sauk County
Summary
A volunteer reported that a recent visit by therapy donkeys to Harvest Guest Home was a surprise to residents and well received; the group plans a visit to a Sauk County health care center.
A volunteer described a recent animal-therapy visit at Harvest Guest Home, saying residents were surprised and enjoyed the visit.
The volunteer said, "they didn't let the residents know that we were coming. So it was a big, big surprise," and that residents stayed with the animals for about an hour and a half. She described one donkey, Nestor, refusing to step onto differently colored cement and joked about his hesitance. The volunteer said the group does not charge for visits, brings apples and carrots for the animals and cleans up after them, and that they will visit a Sauk County health care center the following day.
The committee received the public comment during the designated public-comment portion of the meeting; no board action followed the comment.
