    Pet Therapy Volunteers Needed – Bring Comfort to Hospice Patients

    Anew Hospice is seeking compassionate pet therapy volunteers to provide comfort visits to our hospice patients.

    Volunteers and their certified therapy pets play a meaningful role in enhancing quality of life for patients at the end of life. A simple visit can bring peace, companionship, and moments of joy during a deeply important time.

    Volunteer Commitment:

    • Visits typically occur weekly (or more based on your availability and patient needs)
    • Flexible scheduling — we work with your availability
    • Visits take place in patients’ homes or care facilities

    Requirements:

    • Pet must be therapy certified
    • Current immunizations and up-to-date veterinary records
