Pet Therapy Volunteer Opportunity for Hospice Patients

Unified Care Hospice is seeking loving pet therapy teams who would like to share the comfort, joy, and emotional support that only a gentle, well-trained animal can bring.

Many of our hospice patients experience loneliness, anxiety, or emotional heaviness. The presence of a calm, friendly animal can brighten their day, ease stress, and offer a unique sense of companionship and peace. A soft nuzzle, a warm paw, or even quiet company can make a profound difference.

As a pet therapy volunteer, you will visit patients in their homes, assisted living communities, group homes, always ensuring that interactions are gentle, safe, and respectful of each patient’s needs. Certified therapy animals are required for this role.

Your animal’s presence can bring smiles, memories, and moments of comfort that stay with our patients long after the visit.

If you feel called to share the healing presence of your therapy animal, we would love to connect with you.
