St. Croix Hospice is in need of caring people and their certified pet therapy animals that would like to visit with terminally-ill patients! We are particularly looking for team around the east metro/greater metro area.
Many of our patients live in assisted living facilities or memory care units and often they are separated from their animal companions because of their terminal illnesses. That is exactly why we need you! Pet therapy has been shown to reduce physical and emotional pain in terminally-ill patient, while also bringing them joy! Patients who hardly smile anymore grin ear-to-ear because an animal comes to visit them once a week!
Certified Pet Therapy Teams are matched up with a hospice patient in their area and make visits weekly. We accept only dogs who have been certified by a therapy dog organization.
Make a huge difference in the lives of our patients!
Training is provided and visiting schedules are flexible.
