    Description

    Hospice Pet Therapy

    Nothing is as comforting as the unconditional love an animal gives. So many hospice patients suffer from isolation, anxiety, confusion and loneliness . We know that animals have a great healing and comforting ability.

    If you are a compassionate, reliable individual with a certifiedpet therapy animal and it is insured, please consider joining the Mission Hospice team. Our patients would benefit from a visit! You must have a pet that has a completed Pet Therapy Certification and is insured for liability.

    Please visit http://homewithmission.com/services/hospice/volunteer-services to apply online. We hope to hear from you soon!

    Specialty Volunteers complete patient care onboarding. Application, interview, background check, online training and orientation. A TB screening is required.
