    Description

    🐾 Share the Love Your Dog Gives With Those Who Need It Most 🐾

    Your dog already brightens your world — now imagine the joy they could bring to someone else’s. As part of Enhabit Hospice’s Comfort Paws Program, you and your furry companion can offer comfort, companionship, and unconditional love to patients during one of the most meaningful chapters of their lives.

    A gentle nudge, a happy tail wag, or a warm cuddle can lift spirits, ease loneliness, and create unforgettable moments. Even a short visit can bring smiles, spark memories, and help patients feel seen, valued, and deeply loved.

    You don’t need special training — just a loving heart, a friendly dog, and a little time. However, dogs who have completed a basic obedience class and are comfortable around new people and environments are ideal for this role.

    Even a short visit can brighten someone’s day, ease loneliness, and create heartwarming moments they’ll never forget. Whether you’re a student, retiree, or animal lover, you and your dog can make a real difference — one tail wag at a time.
