Pet Therapy & Companionship Volunteers for Hospice Patients

Save to Favorites

Recruiting Organization: Gentiva Hospice-Newport News VA

Pet therapy and companionship volunteers are needed to visit and enrich the quality of life for patients with a life-shortening diagnosis who are receiving hospice care. This program allows volunteers to be matched one on one with a hospice patient. The volunteer would simply offer companionship/friendship through regular visits with their certified pet.

The volunteers can also set their own schedule that is convenient for both parties. Typically, a volunteer would make a companionship visit 2-4 times monthly for approx. 30 minutes to a couple of hours.

This is a wonderful way to share your best friend and truly make a difference for ot hers in an extremely meaningful and rewarding way.
