We are looking for a certified pet therapy team to visit our Hospice patients in Franklin (the certification can be from any American Kennel Club recognized therapy dog organization).
Our patients are isolated due to COVID 19 and many have had to surrender their pets after they are unable to care for them. If you and your pet enjoy cheering people up this is the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!Enjoy talking about your love of animals with our patients and learning about their lives during your visit.
All types of animals are welcome to participate and together we can determine what the right setting will be. Common animal types include: Dog, Bird, Cat, Equine, Guinea Pig, Goat, Pig, Rabbit, and we are willing to entertain more ideas! You volunteer based on your schedule, and we are flexible.
Due to COVID 19 precautions we require a face mask is worn even if you have received your COVID vaccination (not required at this time) we do provide PPE at no cost to you.
