Random Acts of Kindness Day 2026

Today is all about the little things that make a big difference — a smile, a kind word… or a gentle paw placed in someone’s hand.

Every day, our incredible PAWS Pet Therapy volunteer teams carry out random acts of kindness without even realising it. They walk into hospital rooms, schools, aged care homes and community spaces, bringing comfort, calm and connection to people who need it most. A wagging tail can ease anxiety. A soft cuddle can brighten someone’s darkest day. And a friendly visit can remind someone they are not alone.

What makes it even more special? These moments are made possible by ordinary people and their extraordinary dogs, giving their time purely to help others.

Random Acts of Kindness Day is the perfect reminder that you and your dog could do this too.
Volunteering with PAWS Pet Therapy is one of the most meaningful ways to give back to your community — and it’s guaranteed to leave both ends of the lead feeling amazing.

If your dog is calm, friendly, and loves people, we’d love to hear from you. Together, you can turn simple visits into life-changing moments.

Because sometimes, the kindest thing you can give… is a paw. 🐾💜

We absolutely LOVE this moment at the end of every Training & Assessment Day — our new PAWS teams looking smart in their uniforms and heading home with their new equipment, proud and ready to begin something truly special.

A HUGE thank you to Zone for their incredible generosity in donating the logos on our volunteer backpacks. Arid Zone are an Australian business known for their high-quality outdoor and adventure gear, and their ongoing support helps our teams look professional and feel prepared wherever their visits take them. We are so grateful to have them as part of the PAWS family.

And the excitement is building… our very first training day for 2026 is only two weeks away! We can’t wait to welcome our newest volunteers and their beautiful dogs into the PAWS community.

Thank you to everyone who supports this journey — together we’re helping dogs help people.
