PAWS Pet Therapy

23/01/2026

PAWS Pet Therapy trains people and their dogs to spread joy in hospitals, aged care and community spaces — basically, professional cuddlers with very good manners!

This fundraiser means you can upgrade your wardrobe and help us keep the cuddles coming. Because kindness, like a good outfit, never goes out of fashion.

Blue Illusion - proving generosity never goes out of style.

In the final weeks of 2025, 24 PAWS teams provided support to the Bondi community and the NSW Police during a deeply challenging time.

Our volunteers and their wonderful dogs offered calm, comfort and connection when it was needed most — through quiet pats, gentle conversations and simply being present. Sometimes words weren’t required, just a warm dog by your side and a moment to pause.

I am incredibly proud of our PAWS teams. You stepped forward with compassion, professionalism and heart, and showed just how powerful pet therapy can be in supporting people through difficult moments.

Thank you to the Bondi community and the Police for welcoming PAWS, and to our volunteers and dogs for the care you so generously gave.

On Christmas Day, four PAWS Pet Therapy teams had the privilege of attending the Christmas Day lunch and festivities at Wayside Chapel.

The Wayside Chapel is a place of unconditional love, compassion and practical support. They provide meals, healthcare, counselling and connection for people doing it tough — not just at Christmas, but every single day of the year. It’s a space where everyone is welcomed, valued and treated with dignity.

Our PAWS teams visit Wayside every month, and every Christmas Day — a tradition that is important to us. On a day that can be joyful for some and incredibly hard for others, our dogs offer something beautifully simple: a calm presence, a warm pat, a moment of connection, and often a smile where one might be hard to find.

Cuddles, conversations, laughter and quiet moments were a nice addition to the festivities, helping to ensure everyone felt included and enjoyed the day.

Huge thanks to The Wayside Chapel team for the extraordinary work you do, and to Dahlia & Charlie; Jen & Peppa; Julie & Molly; Lesley with Mickey & Trixie, for giving up part of your Christmas Day to create moments that truly matter.

To all of our clients...

From everyone at PAWS Pet Therapy – our staff, committee, volunteers, and of course our gorgeous dogs – we wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a happy, healthy 2026.

Thank you for welcoming our teams this year, and for sharing so many special moments with our four-legged visitors. We hope the cuddles, smiles and wagging tails have brought a little extra joy to your days.

We’ll be back in 2026, ready to keep spreading the kind of love that only a dog can bring.

Wishing you a safe, happy and paws-itively wonderful Christmas.
