Pets get care during and after patients' Community Hospice stays; peace of mind for all 
The Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville, FL; by Corey Perrine; 8/29/25 
Pamela LaPete and Tucker, an 8-year-old adopted Yorkshire Terrier, visit the Community Hospice & Palliative Care location in Fleming Island on Aug. 28, 2025. The nonprofit organization covers several Florida counties and runs a Pet Peace of Mind program that provides care for pets of patients who need that assistance and homes for them afterward. This was LaPete’s second dog adopted from the program.
