    Description

    Bring your registered furry companion to help patients with comfort towards the end of their life. The Pet Therapy Volunteer serves as an additional support to patients, families, and caregivers by making friendly visits with his/her certified therapy animal. Visits may occur in the patient's home or in a professional care setting (subject to the rules of the facility).

    Both the Volunteer and certified therapy animal provide comfort, companionship, and a welcome distraction from the illness.
