Is Your Dog Itching to Make a Difference? Do you want to be a volunteer but
wish you could take your furry baby with you?
The way a dog loves unconditionally makes such a difference to our patients and
the community that we serve. Whether it is to help with emotional or physical
health, or just to bring smiles, it makes the life of a hospice patient more
comfortable and meaningful.
Our office provides care to patients in seventeen counties in Northern
Illinois. We provide a wide variety of opportunities and meet you where you
are! Our volunteers give their time as they are able and we create a volunteer
schedule with you based on your availability.
* If your dog isn't certified but you want to volunteer, please let us know and
we can discuss how to get the certification completed. Therapy dogs are
certified to be fit with all immunizations up to date and have also been
certified by the AKC Canine Good Citizen Program or other appropriate
accrediting agency (Therapy Dogs Inc., Therapy Dogs International, etc.)
Please feel free to contact us, even if you're unsure this is the right fit for
you! Let's talk about what meets your needs and has an impact on the people who
need your time and talents.
