Elizz Paws

Volunteers and their dogs bring comforting canine affection to patients living in isolation, in a hospice or receiving end-of-life care.

A Companion Dog Visiting Program

Our furry friends are helping to provide hope and happiness with the unconditional love unique to dogs.

Wagging Tails of Generosity

Research tells us that petting a dog lowers blood pressure, calms people and creates a comforting environment. Thanks to a generous gift from the Janet Holder Memorial Fund to cover start-up costs, this program brings dogs and their human companions for gentle visits with end-of-life clients, helping to ease their journey.
