(5/5)
Plett Animal Welfare Service (PAWS) is a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to providing essential welfare services to abandoned, neglected and abused dogs and cats. Our primary focus is reducing the number of unwanted animals through sterilisation, delivered in partnership with local veterinary practices, while ensuring animals in our care receive appropriate medical treatment, protection and responsible rehoming.
PAWS also relies on the involvement of volunteers and supporters to sustain its daily operations. From hands-on assistance at the kennels to supporting fundraising initiatives, every contribution helps us continue providing vital services where they are most needed.
