Paws 'n' Hooves is a "not for profit" animal rescue group based in Sydney. Thanks to the generosity of Barry Pranklin we now have a brand new, state of the art website which will make our job of displaying the animals we have for adoption much easier.
Made up of a group of extremely dedicated volunteers, Paws 'n' Hooves main objective is to save animals from certain death in various pounds and shelters in Sydney and surrounding areas.
Animals rescued from "death row" are taken to our foster carers' homes where they are treated like any family pet, until such time as a new and loving, "forever home" can be found for them.
While in our care, these animals (mostly dogs and cats) are immunized, wormed, de-sexed, micro-chipped and treated for heartworm and other worms.
In many cases, these poor animals have been abused, mistreated and are malnourished. Our valiant band of carers nurse them back to normalcy and good health with a lot of "TLC".
Being a home based group, we can ensure that our animals are well socialised with both people and other animals and in most cases they are also house-trained.
Another advantage of us being a home based group, is that you don't have to worry about "business hours" and in most cases our carers are more than happy to have you meet your prospective new pet at any suitable time including evenings and weekends.
You will also be seeing and meeting the animals in a home, or a backyard environment rather than in a shelter. Generally, you are also able to spend more time with the animals than you would expect to do otherwise
As carers we also have a reasonably good understanding of the animals we are caring for, so we can advise prospective adopting families of personality traits, and the likes and dislikes etc of the animals that you are interested in.
Generally when a suitable family adopts one of our pets, they pay only for the reimbursement of veterinary fees which is currently $300 for dogs and $150 for cats. |
