    Description

    Animal-Assisted Companion Volunteer*

    There’s no denying the special bond between people and their pets, who provide happiness, comfort, and companionship. The same is true for pet therapy animals and hospice patients.

    The visits provide emotional, physical, and psychological benefits that are far-reaching for patients on end-of-life care, their families, as well as for the therapy animal and their handlers.

    We have opportunities to within homes and facilities. We'll work with you, your schedule, and your preferred location. Your pet needs records of their annual vaccinations and to be trained by a recognized certification-training program.
