Provide Pet Visits to Hospice Patients - Wilmington area

Do you and your pet enjoy visiting with people and brightening their day? Our hospice patients and their families would LOVE for you to visit! Hospice provides special care, comfort, and support to those facing a life-limiting illness. Volunteers are a large part of hospice care and make an INCREDIBLE difference in the lives of others.

Your pet does not need to be a certified therapy pet, but they must be friendly, calm, and well-mannered and you must provide a copy of their vaccinations. The pet handler must fill out a volunteer application then undergo a background check, fingerprinting, drug test, 2-step TB test, in-person training and online training. You get to determine your visit frequency and if you'll make visits in facilities and/or in patients' own homes.
