Join the Inaugural Bow Wow Walk 2021 Fundraiser, a Benefit for Community Hospice & Palliative Care Pet Programs, Presented by Pet Paradise

February 16, 2021 (Jacksonville, Fla.) - Community Hospice & Palliative Care is hosting the inaugural Bow Wow Walk 2021, presented by Pet Paradise. This month-long walk, marathon challenge is a benefit for the Community Hospice & Palliative Care pet programs.
 
With the goal of helping patients with advanced illness keep their pets at home, the pet assistance program can help with nearly all the responsibilities of pet ownership. Specially trained volunteers visit patients at home to provide care for their pet, including feeding, dog walking, and litter box changing. Volunteers deliver complimentary pet food and supplies, arrange transportation for pets to and from veterinary and grooming appointments, and provide prescription medications and flea, tick and, heartworm treatments as the need is identified. Because of this program, elderly hospice patients can continue to enjoy the companionship of the animals they love, and who love them back, without worry. 
 
“At Pet Paradise, we know how special pets are and they play an integral part of our families,” said Pet Paradise President and CEO Fernando Acosta-Rua. “We are honored to support this fundraiser that provides much-needed assistance to Community Hospice & Palliative Care patients and gives companion pets the care they need while allowing them to stay with their beloved owners.”
 
The Pet Therapy program is one more way Community Hospice & Palliative Care brings comfort and compassion to patients and families. Pet therapy teams visit patients at Community Hospice Centers for Caring – or wherever they call home. This program benefits to patients by reducing stress, increasing sensory stimulation and relief from pain. Studies have shown that pets can be physically and mentally beneficial for people of all ages.
 
Kickoff is “Love Your Pet Day” on Feb. 20, 2021, and ends on Mar. 20, 2021. Take part in supporting these unfunded programs while exercising and getting outdoors. How can you help? Paw-ticipate as an individual or team and share the news. Get your family, friends, and neighbors to pledge support for your walk and the programs. Throughout the month-long challenge, awards will be announced including “Participant that Walked the Most”, “Best Furry Companion Photo”, “Team that Raised the Most Money” and many more.
