Would you be willing to share your AKC certified pets love, warmth and humor with those who are at the end stage of their life?
Pets have an innate ability for faithful companionship and unconditional love for those around them. Simply interacting and petting an animal can reduce anxiety and stress. Additionally, pet therapy visits can improve mood and emotional well-being in hospice patients. If you are looking for a special opportunity for you and your pet, please contact us today!
