Share the love of your Pet with others! Do you have a wonderful pup that has been certified through an accredited pet therapy school? Are you caring and compassionate and have a passion for helping others? We would love to have you both as hospice volunteers! Certified Pet Therapy Volunteers are needed to bring smiles to the faces of our patients and families. A visit from a therapy dog is one of the more welcomed escapes hospice patients can experience. The simple presence of a therapy dog allows a hospice patient a reprieve from their anxieties and discomforts.
