HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY Hospice of the Valley’s pet therapy teams bring joy to everyone they meet. As soon as pet therapy teams walk into a room, our patients and families feel better. There is something very comforting about the unconditional love pets freely give — not to mention all the precious cuddles, handshakes and tail wags. 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 East Flower Street | Phoenix, AZ 85014 call: 602-636-6336 visit: hov.org/volunteer/pet-therapy LIBERTY WILDLIFE For over 40 years, this volunteer-driven wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization in the heart of Phoenix has had a national impact.
