We’re looking for a few good dogs.

Become a part of Palomar UC San Diego Health Pet Therapy! Man’s best friends (and their owners) are needed to provide therapy to our Palomar UC San Diego Health patients. If you and your dog are looking for a meaningful way to volunteer together in the community, please consider how you can make a difference in the lives of patients and their families through the Palomar UC San Diego Health Pet Therapy program. Patients enjoy the comfort, joy and stress relief a therapy dog brings to brighten their day!
