January 30, 2020 - Positive Engagement Team (P.E.T.) - Devon Apodaca, Director of Imperial County Humane Society and Cynthia Jimenez Community Service Worker.

Imagine a clinic with a dog hanging out. Not a therapy dog, just a well-behaved, friendly, and loving dog there to meet you, receive and give affection, and give support to showing up for a behavioral health appointment.
