THE PAWS STORY...

P.A.W.S., Protection of Animals Welfare Society is a charitable non-governmental organisation in Mauritius. It was founded in July 1999 by a small group of animal lovers who were very troubled by the terrible condition of domestic and stray dogs and cats on the island. They were also distressed by the population's ignorance in matters of pet care, and the lack of aid provided when they did seek help.

The PAWS Team in May 2006

  • We want to make Mauritius a better place for animals, and we believe that the best way to achieve this is through free sterilisation and education.
  • PAWS is a member of W.S.P.A. (World Society for the Protection of Animals) and is affiliated to MACOSS (Mauritius Council of Social Services).
  • We also work in close collaboration with the Marchig Animal Welfare Trust and International Animal Rescue.
