Our volunteers, each with their own temperament assessed dog or cat, visits at mutually agreed times into nursing/residential homes, mainstream and special needs schools, hospitals and hospices, working with both phobic and stroke patients. Indeed, anywhere that the animals can bring that companionship and therapy unique to dogs and cats. Pets as Therapy is a national charity set up some twenty three years ago to offer the service we now provide. Volunteers needed in all areas of the country.
