Companions Inc. has been providing pet therapy to patients at many places in Fairbanks for almost 40 years. Some of the places you’ll find us are Denali Center, the Pioneer’s Home, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, at various Health Fairs in town, the NorthStar Council on Aging (aka the Senior Center), the University of Alaska and more.
Every May we hold Pet Awareness Day, which includes a huge silent auction, booths, many dogs and other pets, a variety of demonstrations such as dog rehab, grooming, K9 training and more. It’s a big day and lots of fun for both guests and our volunteers and our major fund raiser of the year.
Companions Inc. is 100% volunteer organization. We have no paid staff but rely on an energetic, committed group of over 50 volunteers to keep the program running smoothly. The Board of Directors meets as needed and members are welcome to attend the meetings
