For many in hospice care, a decline in physical condition impacts a patient's ability to enjoy socializing and maintain human relationships over time. Pets fill that relational void and they offer unconditional love, acceptance comfort and companionship at at time when it's needed most. The program enables hospice patients to keep their pets at home throughout their end of life journey. The program provides volunteers, food, veterinary care and other pet care needs at no cost to patients. We also assist with re-homing a patient's pet, should the need arise.
