Constant Companions
Making the World a Better Place For All of Us
About Constant Companions
When caring for a pet becomes physically challenging for seniors, veterans, and others, our Constant Companions volunteers offer in-home assistance.
These volunteers can:
-
- walk the dog
- clean the litter box
- provide a ride to the vet or groomer
- administer the pet’s medication
- other tasks needed to ensure the pet’s well-being
Constant Companions volunteers ensure that these animals are cared for and can safely stay at home, exactly where their people need them.
Do You Qualify for Constant Companions?
The Constant Companions program is designed as a safety net for seniors, veterans and others on government financial assistance who don’t have other resources available to help them care for their pet.
If you’re interested in having a Constant Companions volunteer help you, please complete this request form. We will reach out to you after receipt of the request.

Success Story:
Ralph was having a rough year.
Between covid, a heart procedure, and a lung infection, April Ralph, who goes by Butch, had spent as much time in the hospital as out. And then his beloved support cat, Shaman, died.
“We’re troopers. We keep going,” said Micki, Butch’s sister, who has helped take care of him for years. In addition to his health conditions, Butch has had cognitive issues since experiencing asthma-related oxygen deprivation as a child.
