Rescue Helpers

Bring love & light.

The heart & soul of Paws

Rescue helpers keep everything running and ensure that all of our rescues have the best chance at a better life. They bring so much love to our animals when they need it most, offering their time at the Dog House, the Cat House, or both! Rescue helpers also help with education and outreach, connecting with our community on issues of animal welfare. You have the power to change the lives of companion animals now, and in future!

From in-center to at-home foster care, rescue helpers support every facet of our work. Together, we’re creating a more compassionate world for animals. A helping human hand is very welcoming and appreciated around here, with an average of 30 animals residing at our rescue centers, as well as in foster homes, there is a lot of work to go around to give our rescues the best possible support and care.

Rescue Helpers Statements

I knew about Paws for compassion ever since the beginning. The past year with paws has been wonderful. I love doing therapy with our handicaps because it is a very interesting task. Working at PAWS is a unique experience for me because we do not have many animal welfare in France.

I learnt so much about animal language which helped me interact better with the dogs and cats. I also love the uplifting environment here, everyone feels welcomed especially me as a Vietnamese volunteer.

During the time at PAWS I learnt so much about cats behavior, It was difficult with Poppy's medicine and the therapy work was hard, but it was incredibly rewarding to see them happy and playful eventually.
