Us
Happy Paws Happy Hearts (HPHH) brings socially isolated people together in groups, to care for and train rescue animals. The unique twist is that we deliver training at local rescue shelters and wildlife sanctuaries. Instead of taking trained pets to people, we've demonstrated a more robust and scalable model, which takes the people to animals in need. This entirely new approach to animal therapy is a win-win for two complex social challenges.
HPHH is a national organisation and we're growing quickly! We are seeking to expand our reach and impact, by enrolling participants in our life-changing courses to experience meaningful interactions with people and rescue animals – and build skills, connection, and confidence.
