Therapy Dogs

Lincolnshire Animal Hospital Pet Visitors Group

Who we are:
The group consists of clients as well as non-clients of the Lincolnshire Animal Hospital and their pets. Most of our pets are dogs. We welcome cats and any other species that are not considered “wild”.

What we do:
We are a volunteer group that is available to visit nursing homes, facilities for the developmentally disabled and hospitals, as well as other appropriate settings. Those interested may work on a one-on-one basis with hospice patients in their homes, under the supervision of various hospice organizations. For further information, contact:
