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.

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. And Katie, who volunteers for the rescue from the UK - offering pre and post adoption support talks about how important rehoming has become to Jersey (just like all of the UK), whilst showing her Pawpers dog Jack.

The report was live on Channel Island TVs yesterday, 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.
