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. 🐾💜
