ABOUT PAWS
Paros Animal Welfare Society
is active
on Paros Island since 1995.
Its
targets and policies can be shortly defined as follows:
PAWS is committed to the welfare of stray
animals and, more generally, of animals under human care. Its primary objectives are the
promotion of sterilization as an effective measure against overpopulation
of strays, and the education of animal owners regarding their
responsibilities as carers of dogs and cats. Due to the saturation of the
island's suitable animal homes, PAWS supports an international rehoming
programme which has proved very successful during recent
years in keeping the numbers of unwanted animals relatively low.
Because animal welfare in Greece gets very scarce public support, it is almost entirely in the hands of private donors and volunteers. Without YOUR help, nothing can be achieved!
HELP TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS DOGS AND CATS AND
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE EXISTING ONES!

MAKING PAROS A BETTER PLACE!

PERSPECTIVES
1. To secure a sterilization clinic where stray animals can be housed for preparation, postoperative care and reintegration after surgery. This facility, (an obligation according to national government policy), can also be used as a temporary shelter for animals in the PAWS "Re-homing Programme".
2. To obtain funds to equip and maintain
the facilities and cover medical costs.
This will be achieved by lobbying municipal, regional and national authorities, membership and fundraising
activities.
3. To increase the number of
volunteers so that the whole island has people that care for strays.
4. To provide factual information
to the public about caring and neutering of cats and dogs.
5. To support the vet exchange
between Greece and other countries and to assist vets in neutering
cats and dogs.
6. To arrange for vets to visit
schools on Paros and make presentations about animal care.
7. To ensure the animal protection
laws are enforced by the police. |
