PAWS NEEDS YOUR HELP

Too many animals have nowhere to go. Every year, the PAWS Animal Rehabilitation Center cares for over 500 dogs and cats rescued from cruelty and neglect.

We provide food, shelter and as much love and attention as possible for those animals who come into our care and we do our best to find them loving, permanent homes.

The cost of rescuing, treating and rehabilitating animals will be too much for a small struggling shelter if not for he help of supporters and donors.

PAWS is a private, non-profit, volunteer organization which receives no funding from the government nor from any international organization for the operational costs of running its shelter.

You can help shelter animals by choosing to contribute funding for food, vaccination, spay and neuter, healthcare or maintenance of the shelter.

Help us continue making a difference today for a better tomorrow

We’re not just about sheltering and helping animals in distress today. Help us make a difference in the future of animal welfare in the country.


Help our Humane Education fund.

PAWS is dedicated to ending the abuse and exploitation of animals by sowing the seeds of kindness in students and young children

We conduct humane education in local schools. We believe that by teaching kids kindness to animals, we’re helping build a more compassionate society.


Help us lobby and campaign for laws that will benefit animals in the future.

Although PAWS pioneered the campaign for animal welfare in the Philippines and was successful into getting the   ANIMAL WELFARE ACT into a national law, change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, patience and a lot of information dissemination for our advocacy to be heard and the laws to be implemented.

PAWS has campaigned intensively against dolphin shows and other wild animals being used for entertainment, and we were also the first to file a Court Case against the cruel practice of dog fights.

Aside from this, we also look after the welfare of farm animals by lobbying for rules & regulations on the humane slaughter of livestock and by working with government agencies on issues involving animal health and public health.

DONATE IN-KIND

Picture
If you wish to donate in kind, the following are at the priority list of PARC:
  • Dog food (kibble and canned)
  • Catfood (kibble and canned) 
  • Kennel cabs, carriers or cages
  • Vaccines, medicine, surgical materials/equipment, pet vitamins which you think our shelter animals can use.
  • Scratching posts for the cats
  • Chew toys for dogs

Besides feeding and taking care of our shelter animals, there's always a lot of cleaning to be done at the PAWS shelter - so if you're thinking of what the best thing you could give us besides dogfood, catfood and animal accessories, on top of our list is

  • DETERGENT POWDER and BLEACH to disinfect our animal areas. No matter how much and how often you give detergent powder, for as long as we have live animals in our shelter, we would always need it.

Other things we need to clean our animal areas:
  • dishwashing paste or liquid (kitty & doggie bowls need constant cleaning too!)
  • clean old towels or rags, or foot rugs, or anything we can use to line their plastic pans that the kitties use as "cat beds" (they all huddle & crowd in these "cat beds" at night )
  • walis tingting
  • alcohol, cotton and toilet paper for our clinic and sickbay areas
  • old newspaper to line the cages in our feline quarantine and sickbay areas
  • garbage bags (size XXL)
