HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY Hospice of the Valley’s pet therapy teams bring joy to everyone they meet. As soon as they walk into a room, our patients and families feel better. There is something very comforting about the unconditional love that pets freely give — not to mention all of the precious cuddles, tail wags and wet kisses! Our cheerful teams visit our patients in homes, group homes, independent and assisted living communities, inpatient care homes, nursing facilities, trade shows and expos. Suitable pets include dogs, cats, bunnies and miniature horses with a current pet therapy certification. 1510 E.

2022 ANIMAL CARE & RESCUE RESOURCE DIRECTORY NEW LIFE CENTER P.A.W.S. PROGRAM New Life Center recognizes the vital role pets play in the healing process and is proud to be one of only 3 percent of domestic violence shelters in the country to accommodate survivors’ pets. Between 25 and 50 percent of domestic and sexual assault survivors reportedly delay or refuse to leave an abusive and often dangerous partner because they’re afraid of what could happen to the pet they leave behind. We strive to break down those barriers to resources for survivors and do what we can to make Arizona violence-free, because no one should have to choose between their safety and the safety of their pets.
