Imagine the way you feel after you've had a long day and you come home to your furry friend. You could bring that same feeling to someone else in need!

Elara Caring, a leading Midwest Hospice Organization, is looking for therapy teams or individuals willing to share their pet with our hospice patients. Patients reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, as well as their own homes. As a pet therapy volunteer, you have the opportunity to brighten a patient’s day while bringing them emotional and physical benefits.

Come brighten someone else's day by volunteering with us. We would love to have you and your furry companion join our team.

If you have a busy schedule (don’t we all), that’s okay! Take a leap, you won’t regret it! Volunteer Coordinator, Kate Lankey, would be happy to help connect you!

Please send an email if you have any questions: klankey@elara.com
