    Description

    Do you have a friendly pet who loves attention and meeting new people? We’d love to have you and your furry friend volunteer with Suncrest Hospice!

    We’re looking for volunteers to bring their pets to visit hospice patients and brighten their day. These visits can be a wonderful way to bring comfort, smiles, and a little extra companionship to patients.

    Your pet does not need to be a certified therapy or emotional support animal! We’re simply looking for friendly, well-behaved pets who enjoy spending time with people.

    We are especially looking for volunteers willing to serve patients and families in and around Elgin, IL.

    All Suncrest Hospice volunteer humans :) must be 16 or older and are required to complete a background check, be fingerprinted, and complete TB and drug testing at no charge to you.

    If you and your pet would like to make a difference in someone’s day, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to learn more about getting involved!

    Location

    On-site
