VITAS invites friendly and well behaved pets to join the Paw Pals program, in which animals and their humans visit patients in end of life care.
A VITAS Paw Pal volunteer can offer comfort, bring back memories, encourage activity and provide unconditional love to hospice patients and caregivers.
Paw Pals must be well- groomed, at least one year old, have up-to-date vaccinations and be able to follow simple behavioral commands.
