    Description

    Pet Therapy/Animal-assisted Therapy Volunteers Needed

    ECHO Hospice is seeking individuals with their own Certified Therapy pets. Please note that ECHO Hospice is not a facility. The role of a therapy pet volunteer would be to make visits to the patient's location and spend an hour or more with them. This will allow the patient to experience the therapeutic relief only a therapy pet can bring. General hospice orientation will be provided prior to making patient contact.

    • Please note your pet

    must be a "Certified" pet, must be up to date on all vaccinations, and have a clean bill of health.

    If you’re interested in becoming a hospice office volunteer please visit our website at Echo Hospice of Columbus or reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator
