Heart to Heart Hospice patients all over the tristate are in need of companionship visitis and are requesting pet thereapy. Do you have a dog who is up to date on shots and is a gentle soul? Have you gotten your dog certified? Do you love to make others smile by sharing your pet? We need you to help spread some smiles. Imagine having a pet all your life and not being able to take it into the nursing home. Many patients are non verbal and will begin to speak when pets are brought in. Please contact me if you would like to help. The more volunteers that we have, the better we are able to take care of our patients.
