    Description

    PET THERAPY Dogs CERTIFIED to Visit with Hospice Patients

    DOGS HAVE A HEALING POWER! That's already trained as a therapy dog? AdvisaCare Hospice, a nationwide healthcare provider, is looking for PET THERAPY DOG volunteers who like to volunteer in the Southeast Michigan area. 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.

    • We cover ALL 5 COUNTIES (Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw, and Genesee). You can volunteer near your home!

    In order to volunteer and visit patients, you must have your own dog who is certified through Therapy Dogs International or other companies that certify Therapy Dogs.

    Hours are very flexible, weekdays, evenings or weekends.

    For more information, contact Volunteer Coordinator @ 248-649-5489

    or chickerson@AdvisaCare.com

    Or head to our website and fill out a contact form: http://www.AdvisaCarehospice.com/contact-one/
