Paws Awhile Animal Sanctuary

Paws Awhile is an independent animal sanctuary that provides a safe haven for animals rescued from abuse and neglect. The sanctuary is located in Raglan, in the beautiful Waikato region of New Zealand.

Permanent residents include rescued dogs, cats, donkeys, ponies, cattle, pigs and chickens. Current foster residents include a group of beautiful bobby calves who are being cared for while waiting for their forever homes to be ready.

Paws Awhile welcomes volunteer groups and provides invaluable education about animal care and advocacy. In a world where animal exploitation is systematic and hidden from public view, Paws Awhile's engagement with the community helps raise awareness of the cruelty in the animal agricultural industries through the rescue of its victims.

In addition to the physical and emotional demands of running an animal sanctuary, this safe haven faces constant financial pressure. This Give A Little page hopes to provide a much needed source of donations so Paws Awhile can continue it's necessary and rewarding work of rescuing and homing vulnerable animals in need.

Any donation would be sincerely appreciated.
