Pets As Therapy

About Pets As Therapy

Pets As Therapy is a UK-based charity dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals through the therapeutic benefits of animal companionship. Established in 1983, the organization has been at the forefront of promoting the positive impact that pets can have on mental and physical well-being.

Our core mission is to provide comfort and support to those in need, including the elderly, children, and individuals with disabilities. We achieve this by facilitating visits from trained therapy animals to hospitals, care homes, schools, and other community settings.

Each therapy animal is carefully selected and trained to ensure they can provide the best possible interaction with people. Our volunteers play a crucial role, dedicating their time and effort to bring joy and companionship to those who may be feeling isolated or unwell.

We believe in the power of human-animal interaction and its ability to foster emotional healing and improve quality of life. Our vision is to create a world where everyone can experience the joy and comfort that pets can bring.

• Volunteer Opportunities: We welcome individuals who are passionate about animals and want to make a difference in their communities.
• Community Engagement: We actively engage with local communities to raise awareness about the benefits of therapy animals.
• Training Programs: Our training programs ensure that both animals and volunteers are well-prepared for their roles.

Through our ongoing efforts, we aim to expand our reach and touch more lives across the UK. Join us in our mission to spread happiness and healing through the love of pets.
