    Description

    Pet therapy volunteers needed

    Pet therapy animals visit hospice patients where they live, in their own home, in a Board and Care, in an assisted living or in a skilled living facility. Come make a difference in the life of a patient on hospice! Your pet must already be certified as a pet therapy animal, and be insured.

    Thank you for considering a rewarding experience for you, your pet, and a hospice patient! Seeing the smiles on their faces is priceless!

    The scheduling is flexible and training is provided. You just need to be 18 or over. And we ask that candidates commit to volunteering with us for 6-12 months.

    Contact Yvette Williams, Volunteer Manager at yvette.williams@silverado.com or 858.351.3866 to learn more.
