Paws in need

Each year, tens of thousands of RSPCA animals spend time waiting to be adopted from a centre. They are provided with vital veterinary services and hands on contact from loving volunteers and foster carers. However, it can be difficult to find enough people to provide regular interactions while the animals are waiting to be adopted.

Hearts in need

There are growing numbers of socially isolated Australians hoping to reconnect with the world around them. However, it can be difficult to find meaningful social experiences that also restore self-confidence. For many, social interactions can become few and far between and getting out of the home or hostel can be a daunting occasion. Furthermore, many socially isolated Australians choose to go without a pet or have to surrender their animals because of the long-term care needs.

Life enriching interactions

Happy Paws Happy Hearts offers unique animal care, handling and training programs, designed to give participants a rewarding personal development experience as they nurture and care for shelter animals and prepare them for adoption.

The groups already engaging in these experiences include older Australians, people with mental and/or physical disabilities and veterans.
