Story

Please help Bramble raise money for Pets as Therapy on his day out!

Bramble is a 4 year old Golden Retriever, and GOODEST BOY around. In his spare time he volunteers as a therapy dog for PAT, and spreads golden joy wherever he goes. Although she is not nearly as proficient a swimmer as Bramble, Natasha (Bramble’s assistant) will be swimming the Great North Swim to raise money for PAT.

Pets As Therapy helps those in our communities most in need of animal companion therapy. Visiting volunteers and their behaviourally assessed PAT Dogs or Cats share the love of their own animal with people in hospitals, care homes, schools, prisons, day care centres and so many more establishments. Bramble and Natasha volunteer mostly in assisted living and Dementia care homes locally. The patients we visit benefit from the wonderful effect a therapy animal brings, namely non-judgemental listening, tactile comfort & affection
