Happy Paws Happy Hearts

The Happy Paws Happy Hearts program invites veterans and their families to participate in an immersive experience with a range of rescue animals to learn the importance of connection and inclusion. Delivered over weekend sessions and held at various RSPCA locations in Queensland, the program aims to strengthen communication and cohesion for the family unit. The program runs over 10 weekly two-hour sessions, and online resources are available in case enrolled participants can’t make an in-person session.

"Now I volunteer every week, and it’s something I look forward to. I wouldn’t have known that was an avenue I could have pursued without going to Happy Paws, so I'm incredibly grateful for that.”  – Eloise, Army veteran.
