Urgent Help Needed Rescuing and Rehoming Animals

Recently, PAWS-PATAS has faced an overwhelming surge in rescue cases. In just 12 days, they have taken in 37 dogs and puppies, highlighting the growing crisis.

PAWS-PATAS has been a lifeline for abandoned and mistreated animals since 1989.

This dedicated charity works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs and cats in the Mojacar and surrounding region, ensuring they receive the care and love they deserve.

Among the recent rescues was Julia, a seriously ill dog found in Turre, and a mother with her seven puppies discovered in Garrucha. With the severe weather, the team has had to act fast, moving many dogs to volunteers’ homes to keep them safe. Every volunteer has taken in a dog, with some caring for entire litters of puppies. The dedication of these individuals has been extraordinary, but the strain on the charity’s resources is now at breaking point.

PAWS-PATAS relies entirely on the kindness of volunteers and donors to continue its life-saving work.

The recent increase in rescues has made it clear that more help is urgently needed.

There are many ways to support PAWS-PATAS:

Volunteering – The charity is in desperate need of more volunteers to assist with dog walking, fundraising, transport, and shelter maintenance. Even a few hours of help can make a real difference.

Fostering – Providing a temporary home for a rescued dog or cat not only frees up space at the shelter but also gives the animals the chance to adjust to a loving environment before finding a permanent home.

Donations – Financial contributions are vital to cover veterinary costs, food, and shelter upkeep. Every donation, no matter how small, directly impacts the lives of these animals.

Supplies – The shelter urgently needs dog food, bedding, and other essential items. Donations of supplies can help ensure the animals are well cared for.

Despite the challenges, the dedication of PAWS-PATAS and its volunteers remains unwavering. Every dog saved is a life changed, and the charity is determined to continue its work. But they cannot do it alone.

If you can help in any way, whether by volunteering, fostering, donating, or spreading the word, please get in touch at dogs@paws-patas.org. Your support can help ensure that PAWS-PATAS continues to provide a safe haven for animals in need. Together, we can make a real difference.
