It is with regret that the Pets As Therapy Board announces the resignation of CEO Cheryl Tissot, due to personal family commitments. Cheryl has led the Charity from strength to strength over the past 18 months and will be greatly missed. We thank her for all her commitment to Pets As Therapy and wish her every happiness and success in the future.
Cheryls last day in the office is Friday 29 April. If you need to contact Pets As Therapy, please email Michelle Lecky, Operations and Client Services Manager, at MLecky@petsastherapy.org
Trustees of the Pets As Therapy Board
As a charity, were so lucky to have the support of hundreds of volunteers and fundraisers, but sometimes, one person really will go the extra mile for our charity (or make that 26!).
David Luck will be running in the London Marathon on Sunday 24th April.
A huge dog lover and keen runner, David has already raised nearly £4,000 of his £10,000 target.
Please cheer David on from the side-lines if youll be heading to the capital for this iconic race, or support his endeavours by going to his JustGiving page:

Well keep you up to date through our social feeds and website with how David gets on!

Doug The Pug A Working Dogs Tale by Cate Archer
Doug the Pug is a wonderfully sweet natured little dog. As a Therapy Dog, he enjoys each and every one of his working days generously sharing warmth and kindness with all those who need a little tender loving care and special attention. And, when a special little person comes to read with him, he feels like life couldnt get any better!
Dougs story is a sweet tale highlighting the joys of the human/animal bond and is based on Dougs genuine working life through the UK charity Pets As Therapy.
Cate and Doug have been working together, through Pets As Therapy, since 2011. Before this great partnership, Cate taught literacy and numeracy to children with learning differences and worked on a positive behaviour programme with those on the autistic spectrum.
The book is written for junior school aged children, independent readers, and for those who enjoy reading with them. Pug lovers might like it too. In fact, anyone interested in the beautiful relationship between people and their companion animals might like it.
The books aim is to encourage us to be happy with who and what we are, celebrate each individuals differences and recognise that we all have something quite wonderful to offer.
Doug the Pug A Working Dogs Tale is illustrated throughout with charming colour photographs of Doug himself (by Cate) and enhanced with background drawings and illustrations creating a delightful mix of media. The graphic designer of this fabulous work is Alice Palace www.alicepalace.co.uk
Cate hopes that, through reading Dougs book, a greater understanding of companion animal therapy will be gained and funds raised may enable Pets As Therapy to further their good work.
Pets As Therapy will receive all Royalties from every one of Dougs book purchased.
There are many types of establishment which benefit from Pets As Therapy visits ranging from residential homes, hospitals and hospices through to both special needs and main stream schools.
We have a fabulous range of clothing and accessories available to Registered PAT Volunteers. Coming soon: our brand new PAT Shop will be open to members of the public with gifts, pet accessories and more!
