Volunteering
The need for more volunteers is constant. The more people, the more achievable our goal and the more effective our action! A lot of people think that volunteering will absorb all their energy and free time. It might, but it will definitely give them back so much. Social contribution can be unbelievably rewarding! The time people choose to devote to the organisation is decided by them only! Any help is welcomed. From transporting animals to vets, caring actions, complaints and rescuing, to contributing in organizing events, designing posters, taking photographs, making telephone calls, writing and sending letters, any action or 'small act' is a necessary stage to work properly. Any help you can and want to offer is not small or little. We need your love for animals, your enthusiasm, and your energy! Come share it with us!
Donation Boxes
If you have your own business or shop, donation boxes are one of the simplest and cheapest ways to raise money for a non-profit organisation. Just contact us! We will provide you with one and you will just need to put it somewhere to get the customers’ attention! This is a traditional but very effective way to help!
Foster an Animal
One of the biggest problems faced by animal welfare organizations in Cyprus is the lack of space to shelter stray animals. There are no state shelters to cover these needs, while private shelters are almost permanently overcrowded. Fostering an animal can be a huge help for us and for the animals themselves, even for a few days. PAWS will provide you with the necessary (food, bedding, and veterinary expenses).
