PAWS is a work in progress, we started out in February 1997 with the intention to rehome unwanted dogs from their current homes. However, we soon realised the huge amount of abuse, neglect and abandonment of Dogs and Cats throughout the County and we started to give them shelter and Veterinary care... News spread fast and soon we were dealing with cases from Cork and Kerry to Sligo and Donegal...

Since that time PAWS, has rescued, vaccinated, neutered and rehomed thousands of Dogs and Cats and as 70% of these were adults, our neutering programme has prevented millions of unwanted puppies and kittens being born and consequently dumped in ditches, dustbins and dog pounds.
