The
Goal of Hospice
The
goal of animal hospice is to provide comfort, dignity, and a sense of
peace to animals reaching the end of their natural lives. The focus of
care is on sustaining the highest quality of life for whatever time
remains.
Who
am I?
I
consider my work with animals to be a "calling". I believe our choices in life are driven by who we are; what we need to feel complete. In that respect, my choice to work with animals is driven by a need to advocate for a "voiceless" population, our animal companions. It is a personal and spiritual mission to serve the animals that have graciously chosen to share their lives with me. I have been a human companion to animals for over forty years. I am a person who cares deeply for the well being of all animals, and has found a special calling to work with senior and hospice animals. The insight that I bring to the mission of animal service has been acquired over time and can be learned by anyone with the desire to do so.
There's a
resumé of my animal-related activities here.
How
I can help
I
am
available to you by e-mail and phone. I have shared my life with senior
and dying animals and found the experience to bring great peace and
sense of satisfaction. I
have developed this website to offer information, suggestions, and
support to those who find themselves with an aging pet. Please contact
me!
