Holisticare Hospice is currently seeking friendly, well-mannered and calm dogs, of all shapes and sizes (and their people!) These special volunteers are needed to provide companionship, comfort, and even some wet kisses to our terminally ill patients and their families. YOU are needed to help them do it!
Our opportunities are flexible and based upon your availability. Therapy pet volunteers can serve both patients and families in residential and nursing facilities throughout Ocean & Monmouth counties.
Dogs must be certified through Bright & Beautiful or Therapy Dog International. You and your pup will be interviewed and the appropriate documentation processed with both the certifying organization and ours, prior to visiting with patients.
Interested pet owners must attend our full volunteer training which fulfills all Medicare requirements for Volunteer Services.
