Share Comfort, One Wag at a Time
Do you have a friendly, well-behaved pet that loves people? Wings Over Virginia Hospice is seeking Pet Therapy Volunteers to bring comfort, companionship, and joy to patients facing serious illness.
The presence of a gentle therapy animal can brighten a patient's day, spark cherished memories, reduce anxiety, and provide meaningful emotional support during a difficult time.
As a Pet Therapy Volunteer, You and Your Pet May:
- Visit hospice patients in homes and care facilities
- Provide comfort and companionship through animal-assisted visits
- Encourage conversation, smiles, and positive interactions
- Support patients, families, and caregivers through the healing power of a pet's presence
We're Looking For:
✓ Certified therapy dogs and handlers (or teams willing to obtain certification)
✓ Calm, friendly, and well-socialized animals
✓ Compassionate volunteers who enjoy helping others
✓ Individuals able to commit to occasional visits based on availability
Benefits of Pet Therapy Volunteering:
- Share your pet's unique gift with others
- Create meaningful connections with patients and families
- Bring moments of joy and comfort to those who need it most
- Become part of a caring hospice volunteer team
No medical experience is required. Hospice volunteer training and ongoing support will be provided.
Sometimes a wagging tail, a gentle nuzzle, or a quiet companion can say more than words ever could.
Join Wings Over Virginia Hospice and help make every visit a little brighter—one paw at a time.
