About this Opportunity
Is Your Dog Itching to Make a Difference? Your certified pet can help hospice patients! Volunteering for Unity Hospice is very flexible - with many locations near you. Your dog can be a certified Therapy Dog or Canine Good Citizen. We're also happy to pass on info about how to get your dog certified. Hospice is about living and celebrating life, and making sure patients and their families receive love and support - from staff, from volunteers, and from friendly pets!
Visiting with a patient or their families during this hard time can bring so much peace and comfort. You already know how amazing your dog is - let's show them off to others who can appreciate them like you do! Our volunteers receive extensive training to work in hospice, and will need a fingerprinting background check, tb and drug testing, and vaccine & certification records for their dogs. We'd be happy to share more information - please get in touch!
