    Description

    Pet Companions for Hospice Patients - San Jose and Surrounding Areas

    Inspiring. Meaningful. Life-changing. We're one of the Bay Area's oldest & largest non-profit hospices. We work with volunteers to conveniently place you and your pet on assignments near your home! Patients and families benefit from this program by showing signs of reduced stress and improved mood.

    Is the pet-assisted volunteer program right for you and your pet?

    • Does your pet have the right temperament to work with hospice patients?
    • Is he/she calm, gentle and alert?
    • Can your pet follow basic commands?
    • Will you invest the time in taking a pet assisted activities training and certification course?
    • Are you able to commit to at least one year as a Pathways volunteer?

    If so, please contact us at(408) 773-4271 or volunteerservices@commonspirit.org

    We look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!
