To celebrate the life of a special pet lover, Nathan Adelson Hospice is proud to announce the formation of Paws For Paul – The Paul Ames Pet Therapy Program.

Paul Ames, brother of actor and comedian Brad Garrett, was a passionate advocate for animals, especially the dogs he cared for during his life. To honor his memory, Garrett and Nathan Adelson Hospice are creating a program that enhances the services we provide to those in our care and their furry friends.

 

 

Nathan Adelson Hospice has always recognized the soothing power pets provide to those in the final stages of their journey of life. Our pet therapy program offers comfort to our patients through:

• Pet play time for in-home patients

• Cat litter box changes for a healthy environment for in-home patients 

• Pet waste cleanup in patients’ homes and yards 

Funds generated from the Paws For Paul program will allow Nathan Adelson Hospice to increase the depth of those services currently provided, as well as being able to purchase items and services for patients such as:  

• Food for in-home patients’ cats or dogs as needed

• Cat litter, litter supplies for in-home patients’ cats as needed

• Vet care for small needs (nail trims, medications, vaccinations, etc.)

• Spaying and neutering if needed (state law requires it) 

• ID tags and micro-chipping patients’ pets as needed

• Humane euthanasia (emergencies only)

We need your continued support!

You can continue to show your support by contributing in one of many ways.  You can contribute to the Paws For Paul - The Paul Ames Pet Therapy Program financially to help some of the many animals who depend on us for food, shelter and medical needs every day.  You can also contribute by volunteering.

We are actively recruiting volunteers.  It is our hope that the volunteers who apply have a genuine desire to care for the animals we serve with love, respect and patience and have a basic knowledge in animal handling.  Nathan Adelson Hospice requires that all volunteers go through orientation to include an overview of hospice, the Pet Peace of Mind Program and basic training to include animal handling techniques, animal first aid and CPR.

This program enables patients to keep their pets at home with them throughout their end of life journey. The following services will be available to patients and their pets:

  • Assistance with veterinary and grooming appointments
  • Assistance with feeding / pet food
  • Play time
  • Maintaining a clean environment for the pet
