PAWS Pet Therapy

A not-for-profit charitable organisation that trains volunteers and their dogs to provide specialised pet therapy.

PAWSitive things are happen'n at PAWS

Like the rest of Australia the PAWS crew are looking forward to a brighter future. We may have been in this together as a nation but we have also fought our own battles; fear, isolation and uncertainty never being far away. With the help of our beautiful dogs and people it is time to have some PAWSitive experiences.

PAWS is looking forward to being with you every step of the way on the journey to recovery. We are not saying it will be easy but together we will get there.

From the moment we made the difficult decision to place our service on pause we have been working towards the day when we could recommence our visits. As we prepare to have our first team return to service PAWS would like to share how we are making this happen.

Our Dogs...

Our #1 priority

They are our friends, our colleagues, a shoulder to cry on and a warm body to snuggle up to. We love them and they love us. What an honour it is to share these wonderful beings with so many others.
