What People Say
“I doubt if I will ever find such a special place again anywhere. PAWS has been my steady rock, and will continue to be so. And of course I want to come back to PAWS!”
Sonja from Finland
“There is a very detailed and set routine for the daily care of the animals of PAWS, and the organisation here is second to none.”
Melissa from England
“The dogs at PAWS are so friendly, playful and grateful. Every time I looked in the kennels I thought: ‘Why are you still here and not in a warm bed and living with a family?’”
Elena from Austria
“Long may PAWS incredible efforts for the animals continue.”
Melissa from England
“My experience at the PAWS shelter was just amazing! If you ever get the chance to work there as a volunteer or intern, go for it! You learn so much and get the chance to work with such lovely people and dogs.”
Tessa from Holland
“We would whole-heartedly recommend PAWS to anyone”
Leslie and Sam from England
“I have never been to a place where the people were so friendly and every day so unselfishly involved with and so concerned for the animals.”
Tamara from Belgium
“Another reason why I think PAWS is great is because they also work on reducing the dog and cat overpopulation through neutering and increasing the public awareness with regard to animal welfare issues. This is really important.”
