Are you a Certified Pet Therapy volunteer? Do you want to share your pet (dogs only, please) with hospice patients who love dogs, but no longer have their dog or access to a dog? Are you looking for just the right fit for you and your trained Pet Therapy dog? Suncrest Hospice may very well be your answer. Become a Suncrest Hospice Pet Therapy Volunteer.
Suncrest Hospice is looking for Certified Pet Therapy volunteers to visit with our patients living in their own home, assisted living facilities, nursing homes or independent living apartment As your dog's handler, you will need to undergo Suncrest Hospice volunteer training and you will need to provide evidence that your dog's license and shot records are up to date. Additionally, you will need to provide proof that your dog is a Certified Pet Therapy dog.
Would you like more information? Please complete the questionnaire attached. Suncrest Hospice's Volunteer Coordinator will contact you as soon as possible.
