If you think you and your dog would make a great Pet Friends volunteer team, please take look at the criteria below.
All dogs must receive a series of screenings and evaluations to become an approved Pet Friends volunteer.
We require that all Pet Friends volunteer, at minimum, two (2) times per month, for a scheduled consistent shift (e.g. 1st and 3rd Monday of each month from 2 pm to 4 pm). However, priority will be given to those Pet Friends teams who can make a consistent weekly commitment (e.g. every Tuesday from 1 pm to 3 pm).
Please note: Dogs must be bathed the evening before or the day of the hospital visit.
Dog handlers must join the Hospital Volunteer Program.
Currently, we are accepting new Pet Friends volunteer teams for our Wait List. We hope to bring new dogs in for evaluations beginning in January 2023.
