WHAT WE DO

Rescue. Care. Rehome

From rescue and rehabilitation in Macedonia to finding loving homes in the UK, we're there for our Pawpers at every step.

Rescue

Stepping in when dogs are abandoned, injured or left without the care they need, and giving them the chance to begin again.

Care

Providing food, shelter, veterinary treatment and ongoing care while they recover, rebuild trust and grow stronger.

Rehome

Carefully matching them with loving homes and providing support throughout their adoption journey and beyond.

MEET THE PAWPERS

Looking for their forever homes

Meet some of the dogs currently waiting for someone to choose them.

Carrots

With a name as adorable as Carrots, you just know there's a lovely little personality waiting to be discovered!

Mel

A gentle, shy little girl who just needs someone to help her find her confidence.

Sebastian

Sebastian is a gorgeous 3-year-old boy with a wonky paw and a huge amount of love to give. His difference may make him look a little unusual, but Sebastian certainly hasn't received that memo.

WHERE YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

They need us right now

Some Pawpers need a little extra help. From urgent veterinary treatment to lifelong care, your support helps us be there when they need us most.

Clarence

Clarence came into our care covered in papillomas, many affecting his face and mouth. His treatment is ongoing, and we need help towards his veterinary care, food and boarding while he recovers.

Ned suffered horrific acid burns. He's now safe, but his recovery is only beginning. He needs veterinary treatment, ongoing care, food and a safe place to heal.

Some rescues need us for life. 💙

Betty was rescued from a rubbish dump in 2021 with her three tiny puppies. She will remain in Pawpers' care for life and currently needs further treatment following a flare-up of leishmaniasis.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

There are lots of ways to help

You don't have to adopt to change a life. Whether you can offer a home, give your time, donate or simply help us spread the word, every bit of support helps our Pawpers.

Give a Pawper the loving home they've been waiting for.

Help fund food, shelter, veterinary treatment and everyday care.

Offer a safe temporary home and help a Pawper take their next step.

Turn your ideas, challenges or events into vital support for the rescue.

Give regular support towards the ongoing care of a Pawper who needs you.

Share our Pawpers and help their stories reach the people who can change their lives.

TRANSFORMATIONS

This is why we do it

Behind every rescue is a story. Sometimes the difference between where a Pawper started and where they are today says more than numbers ever could.
