It's tough being isolated and in quarantine alone. That's why an organization is making it a little more enjoyable with a visit from some furry friends.

Dutchess County Government took to Facebook to share that Pets Together, an Animal Farm Foundation program (which is a national non-profit), will be hosting Pets Together.

Pets Together is a virtual program that will bring dogs, cats, goats, horses and "other critters" to your home through video conference apps.

On the Pets Together website they say:

Social isolation and loneliness are critical public health threats, especially for older adults and those who live in group settings. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, that threat is increasing. As we all stay home to protect one another from the virus, we must also protect each other from these public health risks.

To book your virtual pet playdate visit PetsTogether.org.
