Own a therapy dog? You can serve as an additional support by making friendly visits with your certified therapy animal to folks living in local nursing and assisted living homes. Both you and your animal can provide comfort, companionship, and a welcome distraction from illness for folks and their caregivers. No medical training? No problem. To become a volunteer, all you need is a compassionate heart. Our volunteer training will teach you everything you need to know to be a companion for someone during their end-of-life journey. You’ll learn valuable skills in grief counseling, spiritual and emotional support, and end-of-life care. NOTE: The majority of animals serving in this capacity tend to be dogs but that is not mandatory. Dogs must be certified/ registered by an American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized therapy dog organization. Other certified/ registered therapy animals will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. All required vaccinations must be up to date and copies of the vaccinations/medical evaluation provided as well as a copy of the current certification/ registration and the liability insurance coverage.
