    Description

    SouthernCare Hospice Patients are in need of Pet Therapy volunteers!

    Bring a smile to a hospice Patient with the unconditional love from your dog. Therapy dogs are welcome visitors to our patients.

    Southerncare Hospice serves patients in our stark, summit, portage and median areas, and volunteers improve the quality of life of patients through visits, often with their therapy dogs.

    Therapy Dogs must have successfully completed obedience and therapy dog classes, and their owners must complete Southerncare volunteer training before visiting patients.

    Volunteer orientation sessions are offered each month, daytime and evening. Call (3309201909) or email for more information on how to register.
