In the charity's own words
Providing Animal Welfare Support (PAWS) raises money to help small local animal rescues that have no other means of raising funds other than public support. We welcome these rescues to request funding when they face difficult times but also voluntarily donate on a monthly basis. We also help local pet owners that find themselves in financial crisis and are facing re homing a much loved pet.
