Do you have a therapy dog? Would you like to visit hospice patients?
ORGANIZATION: Heartland Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
We are looking for owners and their registered therapy dogs to join us to provide our hospice patients with the love and companionship that you and your dog can bring them. Heartland serves clients in their own homes or in facilities within a 60 mile radius of St. Cloud and Brainerd. If you and your dog are willing to "make rounds" in a facility, then all other residents would also benefit. You decide how much time you want to commit to volunteering, and how far you are willing to travel.
