Pet Peace of Mind Program for Hospice Patients
This USA TODAY article covers a program started a Oklahoma hospice, to help take care of the pets of hospice patients. The program has received a grant to develop and promote the program to non-profit hospices across the U.S.
The Pet Peace of Mind Program that Taylor McNac developed provides not only pet food, vet care, meds for older animals with arthritis or other chronic disease, flea and tick control, and vaccinations, but also sends volunteers to walk dogs, make runs to the groomer, or provides transportation for any other pet need.

How does a person volunteer to care for pets ? is there an email address?
You can call your local hospice and ask to speak to the volunteer coordinator. They will be able to tell you if they offer this service to their patients or if they need volunteers. To find your local hospice, check your yellow pages or the Hospice Directory.
