Apply to become a PAT Volunteer with your Dog

Please note we're updating our system and new applications are suspended until January 2025.

If you would like to join Pets As Therapy with your dog or cat, please return to our Become a PAT Volunteer page to register your interest. We will be in touch in January when you can submit your application. 

Apply to join us and you’ll become part of a rewarding volunteering group who make a difference to the lives of people in your local community. What’s more, you do this with the dog you love. 

Any fit and healthy dog can become a PAT Dog. To register:

  • you must be aged 18 or older
  • your dog must be aged over twelve months
  • you must have known your dog for at least nine months
  • your dog must not be fed raw meat or unpasteurised milk
