Happy Paws Happy Hearts Foundation

Happy Paws Happy Hearts (HPHH) is a national organisation dedicated to breaking the cycle of social isolation by fostering meaningful connections between vulnerable people and rescue animals. Through our life changing programs, participants build independence, confidence and a renewed sense of purpose in supportive, hands-on environments.

Our unique approach takes participants out of traditional learning spaces and into animal shelters, where they socialise and train animals in need. This real-world setting fosters personal growth, social connection, and skill development in a safe and inclusive environment. It helps individuals reconnect with life, opening pathways to volunteering, education, and employment.
