Welcome to Pawpers in the Ruff

Our mission is to provide life saving care, rescue and rehoming to stray dogs in Macedonia.

About us

Pawpers in the Ruff helps the dumped and abused dogs in Macedonia. Many of the dogs in our care have only ever known life on the streets or living within a city or on a dump. Together we can show them a happy and loved life. Since starting, we have rescued over 1,500 dogs and neutered/released hundreds more. 

HELP US RESCUE 6 PUPPIES FROM SKOPJE AIRPORT 

Six puppies are currently trying to survive in a car park beside  Skopje Airport in North Macedonia.

Two are newborns.

Four are older pups.

All are frightened, hungry, vulnerable, and at constant risk from larger stray dogs nearby.
Please donate to help us rescue them.

ITV Channel News, reporting from the Channel Islands recently ran a feature on Pawpers in the Ruff for their live news flagship show. This was viewable to TV's live across the Channel Islands.

The news report features Jess and her dog Mila, adopted earlier this year as well as Mary who adopted Molly and Chris who adopted Ozzy, both in the summer last year. It is SO lovely to see three Pawpers dogs playing on the beach together!

Ivana, one of our volunteer rescuers who looks after our kennel dogs and feeds the strays in Macedonia (plus many other things) speaks about the problems for dogs in Macedonia.

The report was live on Channel Island TVs, but viewable on their catch up series, however we have published the article below so everyone around the world can see the report.

A massive thank you to everyone who supports us and helps us find these dogs wonderful homes. The world is brighter with animals rescues.

Credit ITV Channel TV for running the feature and putting it together for us.

What makes us different?

No dog gets left behind with Pawpers by their side, no matter what illness or health issues dogs are facing, we are right by their sides battling with them.

We are proud to say we have rescued over 1,500 dogs.

We post regular updates across our social media platforms.

We have rehomed over 700 dogs to date.

We know all our dogs and their character, therefore we have an excellent track record of adoptions.

We provide Rescue BackUp for life and work with leading UK professional trainers for post adoption support. 

We stop at nothing to ensure our dogs have the best chance and the best life.
