What is a PAT Visiting Volunteer?

Our volunteers are pet owners who visit people in hospitals, care homes, schools and more, sharing the joy of their dog or cat with those who could do with a lift.

We all know pets are pretty incredible and have a special knack of making everyone smile, so we share this magic to brighten people's days.
