Welcome
Paws 4 life
Paws 4 Life Charitable Trust is a Registered Charity that began in 2010 due the increasing numbers of people and animals needing help within the Waikato. Paws 4 Life aims to reduce the population of unwanted animals by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals as well as educating the community and also by providing solutions and alternatives for animals in need. We are a support network for those people in our community who are unable to, for various reasons, care for their animals.
All animals taken in by Paws 4 Life receive the necessary veterinary care and their medical and behavioural needs are met.
Paws 4 Life’s philosophy believes that every unwanted, neglected or abused animal deserves to have their needs met by The Five Freedoms:
1. Freedom from Hunger & Thirst – by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.
2. Freedom from Discomfort – by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
3. Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease – by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
4. Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour – by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal’s own kind.
5. Freedom from Fear and Distress – by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
“You cannot change the world by saving one animal...but you can change the world for that one animal.”
Milo Appeal
Meet Milo!
Milo was sadly surrendered as he sustained a broken leg and his family could not afford vet treatment and euthanasia was his only option. That was until one of our terrific Vet Nurses offered to foster him whilst he received the vet care that he needed to repair his broken leg, and save his life.
Milo is an 11 month old German Shepherd X, he is always happy, always playful, fantastic with other dogs and he is a typical Shepherd type dog with lots of boundless fun energy – which is tough on a cute kid with a broken leg! Milo is great with cats, he will chase if they run, otherwise he is fine living with cats. Milo’s training is coming along nicely and of course, he adored the camera!
Milo has had fantastic treatment and care and he is almost fully healed. But we need your help. To save Milo’s life it has cost us almost $600 and we are in desperate need of help to pay for his treatment. His account covers all his leg treatment, his vaccinations, desexing, worm & flea treatments, his microchipping, NZCAR Registration, Council Registration.
Milo is also available for adoption very soon, so if you think you could share your life with this cute kid, please get in touch with us Smile
To help Milo, donations can be made to: Paws 4 Life Charitable Trust / MILO: 02-0410-0135557-000
Your donations will directly help Milo.
Thank you for helping save this boy’s life. He’s worth it Smile
