Share the Love of Your Loyal Dog

AccentCare Hospice is seeking compassionate volunteers with therapy dogs to help brighten the lives of our patients. While you and your pet are brightening our patients’ lives you might find that your life becomes brighter too!

AccentCare Hospice, formerly Seasons Hospice, serves patients and families in your area. Our Loyal Friends Pet Team program is currently seeking new volunteers with certified therapy animals to visit our patients wherever they call home, be it a residential home, nursing home, assisted living or independent living community.

Even if you only have a few hours a month to give, we would be honored to have you join our team and support our mission of offering compassionate, personalized hospice care. Training is free and flexible to fit your schedule and you can choose what area you want to serve.

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you share the love of your therapy animal with those at the end of life.

We serve patients exclusively in Washington, DC!
