What do you think of traveling vans with special, service oriented dogs and their handlers, paying visits?
There are such dogs going to nursing homes. They are very special, unusual dogs, that seem to know exactly what their job is. They are not like other dogs that love just their own owners.
Such traveling comfort play-dogs could be local clubs, local people. No big deal grants needed. A Vet Dog Visiting Auxiliary Corps.
That might be self-funded, volunteer. I don't know what permission you need to contact vets.
Great idea.

Though I suspect it is the personal bond that is needed - in those dark hours at night or alone when comfort and a friendly soul is most needed... ?
Oh yes.
