Southern Care Hospice is seeking volunteers with certified therapy dogs and other animals to assist our hospice patients. Many hospice patients had pets and due to their health and current place of residence may not have been able to keep their pets. We are seeking certified therapy pets to bring the joy of human and animal relationships back to these patients.
We are required to keep on file proof of certification and vaccine records of all therapy animals. The volunteer will receive an orientation training, and our staff support. Volunteer applicants will have Drug screen, background check, and a TB test, provided by Southern Care Hospice.

Mission Statement
To provide compassionate care and extraordinary service to the patients and the families we serve.
Description
Southern Care Hospice takes hospice care to wherever the patient calls home. Our volunteers can choose from many areas of interest as a partner to our patients. Some volunteers are simply companions, offering friendly visits others are crafty. With additional provided training some are simply present at bedside with a patient that is actively departing this world but may not have a family of his/her own. Others choose to work behind the scene by assisting in the office with many tasks from answering the phone, filing, putting supplies together for the nurses etc. Military Veteran volunteers are always sought out to be paired with veterans that are on the end-of-life journey and to assist in the many veteran specific community activities that Southern Care Hospice supplies.
