Is Your Dog Itching to Make a Difference? Do you want to be a volunteer but wish you could take your furry baby with you?
The way a dog loves unconditionally makes such a difference to our patients and the community that we serve. Whether it is to help with emotional or physical health, or just to bring smiles, it makes the life of a hospice patient more comfortable and meaningful.
We provide a wide variety of opportunities and meet you where you are! Our volunteers give their time as they are able and we create a volunteer schedule with you based on your availability.
* If your dog isn't certified but you want to volunteer, please let us know and we can discuss how to get the certification completed. Therapy dogs are certified to be fit with all immunizations up to date and have also been certified by the AKC Canine Good Citizen Program or other appropriate accrediting agency (Therapy Dogs Inc., Therapy Dogs International, etc.)Hospice is about living and celebrating life, and making sure patients and their families receive love and support - from staff, from volunteers, and from friendly pets!
Our volunteers receive extensive training to work in hospice, and will need a fingerprinting background check, tb and drug testing, and vaccine & certification records for their dogs. We'd be happy to share more information - please get in touch!
