Pet Therapy: Stress Free, Mess Free

Let's face it, we can't help but smile when we see a dog happily wag its tail or a kitten pounce on the fuzzy toy strategically pulled across the floor. For those of us at college, being away means that we are forced to leave behind our best friends, better known as pets, for the piles of work that inevitably leads to stress. But no need to fear, Pet Supplies Plus has just the solution. This friendly pet store may be small but their workers and volunteers have a big heart for animals. They encourage visitors to play with their "ready to adopt" kittens and cat, even if adoption isn't an option for them.They also have other animals, such as birds, guinea pigs, frogs, snakes, and fish, that may spark your interest. If you are looking for more than just a short weekend visit Pet Supplies Plus offers volunteer hours, from once a week to once a month, that best fit any busy college student's schedules. Not only does this relieve some unwanted stress, but it allows students to return to college life without the responsibility of taking care of another animal full time, and no I'm not taking about a roommate. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too.
