Pet Visitation
To enrich the lives of those in AHS care by providing them with the attention of pets and their owners. Registered volunteers and their vet checked pets can sign in on the volunteer sign in sheet, then they can engage with those patients that would like to have a pet visit in their room or in a common sitting area.
Enter the hospital and sign in, take your pet around for visitations to patients, carry hand sanitizer for patients to use before and after visiting with your pet, try to engage with the patient for 5-15 minutes, sign out when you are done.
It is self-fulfilling to be a volunteer. It has a great impact on the community. It is a good way to build your resume or collage application. A great way to keep your dog socialized. A great way to help enhance the lives of others.
Can apply online at AHS or email volunteer coordinator Jessica Weber at jessica.weber2@ahs.ca
