Pet therapy is a bond between a patient and a pet that can be utilized to bring comfort and peace for hospice patients, especially those who are home-bound, isolated, and in need of the comfort a pet can bring. We are actively searching for volunteers to visit patients in their homes, nursing homes, and hospitals to provide pet therapy of any kind. Please join our team of hospice nurses, social workers and volunteers in easing transitions for our hospice patients!
