Pet Peace of Mind Program

We believe no one should have to give up a pet because they are terminally ill.

As an ambassador of the Hospice Pet Peace of Mind program, I wanted to thank you for all the community's support of our therapy dogs and our Pet Peace of Mind mission. For many in hospice care, a decline in physical condition impacts a patient's ability to enjoy socializing and maintaining human relationships over time. Pets often fill that relational void as they offer unconditional love, acceptance, comfort, and companionship at a time when it is most needed.


Pet Peace of Mind enables hospice patients to keep their pets at home throughout their end-of-life journey. The program provides pet food, veterinary care, and other pet care needs at no cost to patients. Pet Peace of Mind volunteers are specially trained to provide in-home care assistance when patients need help caring for a pet. The program also helps with rehoming a pet, should the need arise. With this kind and compassionate support, patients can complete their end-of-life journey without worrying about their pet's current or future needs.

Our Hospice therapy dog program is growing, and we could not be happier. Nora and El are in school and working hard. BoSox continues the mission until the pups are ready to lend a helping paw so he can take a much-needed vacation. Thank you, BoSox. You are an inspiration to us and provide an abundance of comfort for Hospice patients.
