November is a month for reflection, a time to pause and give thanks for the people and moments that make life meaningful. At Highland Canine Connect, gratitude isn’t just something we feel; it’s something we live out through action, compassion, and connection.
November is Hospice and Palliative Care Month
This month, we’re proud to celebrate National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to honor those who bring comfort, dignity, and presence to life’s most tender chapters.
We are grateful for our partnership with Hospice and Palliative Care of Iredell County, where our therapy dogs and service dogs in training have the privilege of walking alongside patients, families, and care staff. Through regular visits, they bring comfort, smiles, and gentle companionship, offering quiet support, wagging tails, and unconditional love in moments when words fall short. Whether it’s a gentle nose boop, a joyful tail wag, or simply being present, our dogs remind everyone they meet that they are never alone.
Hospice work is sacred work, built on compassion, empathy, and presence. We are deeply grateful to the caregivers, nurses, social workers, and volunteers who dedicate their hearts to supporting others at the end of life.
Gratitude in Action: Honoring Compassion This November
HCC is more than just programs; we’re a community-driven organization rooted in service, purpose, and connection. Every visit, every volunteer, and every dog represents a ripple of kindness spreading through our community and beyond.
This November, we invite you to join us in turning gratitude into action. There are numerous ways to contribute to our mission, from volunteering to supporting outreach programs that bring comfort and connection where it’s needed most.
