Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Faith & Family Hospice

Do you have a gentle-hearted pet and a passion for bringing joy to others? Faith & Family Hospice is seeking dedicated volunteers and their certified therapy animals to provide comfort and companionship to patients facing life-limiting illnesses. Through the unconditional love and calming presence of animals, we can offer emotional support, reduce stress, and bring moments of joy to patients and their families during a tender time.

As a pet therapy volunteer, you’ll be part of a compassionate team that uses the human-animal bond to enhance the quality of life for those in hospice care. Whether through a gentle nuzzle, a wagging tail, or simply quiet companionship, your visits can make a meaningful difference in someone's day.

What You'll Do:

· Visit patients with your certified therapy animal to provide comfort, connection, and emotional relief

· Offer companionship that reduces anxiety, eases loneliness, and improves mood

· Support patients and families with the calming, familiar presence of a friendly animal

· Work alongside hospice staff to ensure visits are appropriate and beneficial to each patient

· Promote a peaceful and nurturing environment through the unique healing power of animals

Why Volunteer with Us?

· Make a lasting impact by sharing the comfort and joy that animals bring

· Support patients in expressing emotions and feeling connected through meaningful interactions

· Be part of a devoted team focused on holistic, compassionate end-of-life care

· Gain experience in pet-assisted therapy and hospice volunteering

· Receive training and ongoing support from experienced hospice professionals

Animals have a unique way of reaching the heart when words are not enough. By volunteering with Faith & Family Hospice, you and your pet can provide moments of light and love during life’s most profound transitions. Join us today and become a source of comfort, connection, and healing.

Join Us Today and Help Us Bring Comfort Through Companionship and the Healing Power of Animals
