    Description

    Ever thought about volunteering with your dog? You + your pup could be the reason someone smiles during one of life’s hardest moments.

    Our Hospice Dog Visitor Program is a true partnership in care, which we aim to bring joy to patients and family members! Volunteers interested in the Dog Visitor Program must satisfy all the orientation and onboarding requirements of the Volunteer role. In addition, dogs must pass The American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen exam and be vetted through the Hinds Hospice Dog Visitor vetting process or meet the requirements and be registered with Pet Partners, Therapy Dogs International, or another accredited certifying therapy dog association that provides liability insurance to their members.

    As part of the interview process, the Pet Team (Dog & Handler) attends a basic dog obedience and temperament interview with the Volunteer Director/Coordinator. Dogs in our program must have an annual vet exam with current vaccinations on file. Pet Teams must comply with our protocol for visiting etiquette and infection control.
