Pet Therapy Volunteer (Dog/Cat/Etc.) - Hospice Care - Central Indiana, Lafayette, and South Bend

Luminary Hospice of Indiana, LLC is looking to expand its Pet Therapy Volunteer Program with amazing animals and handlers - like you! While we do require certification or licensure as a pet therapy provider, any animals are welcome - furry, scaly, or fluffy! Our cherished volunteers are provided with a myriad of resources to thrive and grow with us, including trainings, references and public education items, educational materials, and more!

Our volunteers are specially trained but do not provide direct patient care, give medications, or make medical decisions. As an invaluable resource to patients and families, you will bring a friendly smile, warm conversation, a hand to hold or offer a welcome respite for a family member. A volunteer coordinator takes time to get to know about you and your life passions to ensure the best match to maximize the reward for both you, the volunteer, and the patient. Some volunteers choose direct patient support while others work behind the scenes at the office or with the hospice team.

What we need from you:

• An application directly on our website;
• Free, Luminary-provided background test, Tuberculosis test, and submission to a drug test;
• a copy of your Driver's License;
• Active Auto Insurance;
• Active Certification or Licensure to provide Pet Therapy;
• Active Vaccination Records for your Pet (as applicable).
