We are looking for caring people and their dogs who are certified through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs or similar organization. These special pet therapy volunteers would visit our hospice patients, in their homes or facilities, to offer comfort and spread joy in ways that nothing else can quite match. Therapy dog visits are very soothing for a lot of people going through difficult times, and we would love to have more on our team!
