Certified Therapy Animal Hospice Volunteer

We are looking for generous, loving, and furry volunteers to join our clinical staff and spend some quality time with our patients. As an integral part of our team, you and your pet will touch people's lives! No one should die alone, and often times a visitor from outside the family, furry or not, can help prolong a person's life! Your and your pets time is invaluable to the patient, their caregivers and our staff. We can only provide great care with you on our team!

We offer flexible scheduling and commitments that work around your busy life!

We encourage all kinds of trained pets to visit our hospice patients either at their home or in the facility they are residing in. Our clients have requested pet therapy opportunities all over Davis and Weber County. Most have requested dog and cat companions, but several are open to other furry friends.
