Find security in furry love
Right now, too many children feel overwhelmed, unsafe, and left behind at school.
From the 20 – 24 April, every dollar donated will be doubled up to $30,000, by a group of generous supporters.
That means twice the help for children who urgently need support to re‑engage with learning.
Why your gift matters right now?
- Keep children in school and avoid the lifelong impacts of disengagement
- Support therapy dogs and trained facilitators who create safe, nurturing learning environments
- Expand Paw Pals to more regions, reaching more students each year
- Power a proven program that transforms lives through education and wellbeing.
A child's future can change today
At eight years old, Oliver couldn’t cope at school. Trauma made the classroom feel unsafe. His outbursts escalated. His school attendance dropped to just hours a week.
Then Marlowe, a Paw Pal therapy dog stepped in.
With Marlowe by his side, Oliver found calm, trust, and the confidence to learn.
Today, he’s back at school full time.
Your gift makes stories like Oliver’s possible. And this week only, the impact you make goes twice as far.
Give now to double the impact.
The difference you make to children struggling at school
You’re helping to lower stress levels
A Paw Pal like Marlowe helps students who have gone through trauma to feel safe, improving their ability to learn.
You’re helping kids identify and manage big emotions
Through simple activities like rolling a die with their Paw Pal, students learn to explore feelings, practising to recognise emotions in themselves and in their therapy dog.
You’re helping to develop kids’ social skills
A Paw Pal helps to nurture skills like patience, trust, teamwork, and cooperation, boosting confidence in social situations.
Paw Pals could make the absolute difference between a child attending and not attending school.
