    Description

    Touch the Life of a Hospice Patient-Become a Pet Therapy Volunteer (Greater Lansing area)

    Make a real difference in someone's life!

    Elara Caring Hospice, a leading care provider in the Midwest, is looking for compassionate volunteers willing to donate their time to provide exceptional end-of-life care to local hospice patients and their families.

    Elara Caring Hospice is looking for certified pet therapy volunteers. A visit from a therapy dog can be so therapeutic. Terminally ill patients enjoy the extra attention and unconditional love they feel from a 4-legged companion. In order to volunteer and visit patients, you must have your own dog who is certified through TDI, Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs or West Michigan Therapy Dogs Inc.

    Volunteer hours are very flexible. Volunteer hours can be completed during weekdays, evenings or weekends.

    For more information, contact Sara Joblonski at sjoblonski@elara.com or by phone at 517-643-3077.
