The United Way helps support the Pet Therapy program, which does everything from help bring a smile to those people who sometimes do not have a lot to smile about, to rehabilitation of those who were thought to never move a limb again. Elderly people who have not moved a limb in years have been seen lifting an arm to pet a furry friend.
