Bring Comfort and Joy: Pet Therapy Volunteers Needed!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Gentiva Hospice

Are you and your furry best friend looking for a truly special way to give back to your community? Our hospice family is searching for compassionate pet therapy volunteer teams to bring warmth, comfort, and wagging tails to our patients.

The unconditional love of an animal can make a profound difference in someone's day, offering companionship, reducing stress, and bringing smiles. As a pet therapy volunteer, you and your certified dog will have the opportunity to provide moments of joy and connection to individuals receiving hospice care.

Here's what we're looking for:

  • A loving and gentle dog that is currently certified/registered by an AKC-recognized therapy dog organization.
  • Proof of up-to-date vaccinations for your canine companion.
  • A friendly and empathetic human handler (that's you!).
  • A commitment to bringing comfort and positive interactions to our patients.

If you and your four-legged partner are ready to share your hearts and make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you! This is more than just volunteering; it's an opportunity to create cherished moments and provide invaluable emotional support.

Ready to get started? Please reach out to Addie Carmon/Volunteer Coordinator at 662.349.3430 or addie.carmon@gentivahs.com to learn more about this incredibly rewarding opportunity. We can't wait to welcome you and your furry friend to our volunteer team!
