    Description

    Become a Comforting Companion—Bring Joy with Your Therapy or Service Animal

    At Bristol Hospice, we understand the unique comfort animals can bring during life’s most sacred moments. Volunteers with certified therapy or service animals visit patients in their homes or care facilities, offering gentle companionship, emotional support, and joy. These visits can ease loneliness, spark connection, and provide peace.

    Join our extraordinary team of compassionate volunteers in Tucson and surrounding areas. With the support of our care team and fellow volunteers, you’ll help brighten someone’s final chapter through the healing power of animals.

    Requirements: Volunteers must provide the animal’s up-to-date vaccine record, certification as a therapy or service animal, and liability insurance from the owner/handler. Flexible scheduling based on your availability and comfort level. Visits take place in homes or care facilities near you.
