Hospets

A Unique Organization

Founded in 2011, we are an all-volunteer, nonprofit focusing on the bond, health, and emotional well-being of senior citizens and their pets. Hospets has an innate understanding of the bond between pets and humans. We understand that many seniors live alone, having lost a spouse. For these people, the relationship they have with their pets is crucial, and keeping them together is life-saving.

Pet ownership provides enormous health and emotional benefits for seniors. While pet ownership brings great rewards, there are often challenges physically and/or financially to providing necessary care for the pet. This is where Hospets can help!

Hospets Helps In Several Ways
Transporting pets to grooming, veterinary appointments, and visits
Pre-planning placement – Assisting owners with finding a new, loving home for their pets if needed
Assistance with pet food, pet medications, and basic veterinary services if owners are facing financial difficulties
24/7 Emergency/on-call pet caregiver until family can take possession of a pet
Emergency Respite Care if the owner is hospitalized
and so much more.

Pet ownership provides enormous health and emotional benefits for seniors. The presence of a pet is the strongest social predictor of survival and pet ownership is especially important in increasing interest in life – pets give the elderly something to care for, as well as providing an opportunity for exercise and socialization.

While pet ownership brings great reward, there are also care requirements and added expenses. This can be difficult due to finances, transportation or mobility.
