Description
Share your 4-legged friend to spread smiles and joy with patients who are separated from their pets. Our teams also visit with staff and visitors who need stress relief. Pet Therapy dogs give unconditional love, relieve loneliness, and promote the emotional, mental, and even physical health of those they visit.
The Pet Therapy Volunteer will serve as a team (owner and dog) visiting pre-selected areas to provide comfort. Dogs must have completed a certified pet therapy training program, approved by PIH Health and successfully complete a physical and behavioral screening by a certified veterinarian.
