PAWS Pet Therapy trains volunteers and their dogs  to visit people in hospitals, aged care facilities and  other health and community settings. Since 2012  our team has grown to include over 70 volunteer  and dog teams, who provide regular professional  pet-assisted therapy to facilities throughout NSW.  Whether it is our daily visits to the Southern  Highlands, or weekly visits to burns units or ICU, our teams bring a high level of professionalism, care, joy and compassion to thousands of people every year. 

​

Aged care facilities can be a place where people  who have lived their lives surrounded by their  loving animals, now find themselves “pet-less”.  Our teams help fill that void, and the smiles on  people’s faces tells the story of the importance  of reconnecting with an animal, even for a  short time.
