Born from a belief that every child deserves to feel safe, seen and included at school
Pawsome Therapy Dogs was founded to bring the proven power of animal-assisted therapy into classrooms — gently, joyfully, and professionally.
A poodle, a purpose, and a passion for children
Pawsome Therapy Dogs began with a simple observation: children who were struggling to engage in education, connect, read, or feel calm at school would light up the moment a friendly dog walked through the door. That spark of joy — that immediate, unconditional warmth — became the foundation of everything we do.
Our certified therapy dog is trained to the highest standards, gentle with children of all ages and abilities, and always accompanied by a qualified handler who is a registered Bachelor of Early Childhood Teacher (Exemplary level). Every visit is purposeful, safe, and tailored to the needs of the education service and its children.
Our Therapy Dog
Audrey - Toy Poodle · Certified Therapy Dog
With a cloud of soft auburn curls and a smile that melts hearts, our Audrey is the heart of Pawsome Therapy Dogs. Calm, gentle, and endlessly patient, she has a remarkable ability to sense when a child needs comfort — and to offer it without hesitation. Fully certified, health-checked, and adored by every child she meets.
