We have supported many different charities over the years and PAT DOGS is one such charity that members might like to participate in with their own dogs. See below.
Owners of well behaved pet dogs can volunteer to to be PAT Dogs. Dogs are carefully vetted in a number of different situations and must be fully vaccinated, wormed etc. Once approved dog and handler can fulfill various rolls in the community.
- Visiting Care Homes, Hospitals and Hospices. PAT Dogs can really help and comfort patients .
- Read2Dogs. Reading to a canine friend can help special needs pupils, or others just struggling with reading, build their confidence .
- Helping children with severe dog phobias. Becoming used to a calm dog can reassure the children that a dog can be a friend, not something to be afraid of
