Happy Paws Charity Organization, founded in 2004, strives to be a service to the STRAY animal community in Malta and to the people who care for them, by providing free neutering, through membership of our organisation, in our own Veterinary Clinic, promoting our stray dog adoption scheme and various other programs. Apart from our resident Veterinary Surgeons, it is completely run by volunteers.
We finance the organization by operating 3 charity shops, through sponsorships, donations, our Rainbow wall and fund-raising events.

Please check the hereunder, email was received this morning by an animal welfare officer. If anyone is interested in adopting a puppy or a dog, please call 25904224. 
Let us all just try to help all the people who are trying to help all these abandoned innocent animals, due to ignorance and irresponsibility of some people, perhaps one day we shall succeed to see no strays in the streets. Please do urge friends who have pets in neutering or spaying pets.
Can you please help me out in finding a good home for these pups. This week was incredibly busy for us with the amount of papini which were found in the streets. We have around 30 with the age varying from 3 to 14 wks!
 
Thanks
Janice

Three dogs are looking for a home

Thursday, 26 August 2010 21:14
 E-mail
A three year old German Shepherd is in urgent need of a new home. This dog is very smart, likes to walk, obedient and gets on well with kids... anyone interested send me a message on 99872020 and i will forward contact details.
 
Simba, a 10 months old male poodle/terrier cross and is looking for a loving home! He is a very happy and cuddly dog. Once he's gained your trust he is extremely loving and attached to you. Simba was adopted a few months ago but unfortunatly he does not get along with the owner's other dog.. The owner tried a couple of months to get them used to each other but no luck! So unfortunately she has to give him away. He is neutered, microchipped and house trained. Most suitable would be a home with no other dogs (especially male ones). Anyone interested please call 99016438 or 99537838.
 
 
The White Dog is a Female fox terrier mix, she's 5 months old and is looking for a home urgent... the person who found her when she was very young has another dog and this dog doesn't get on well with her. She's toilet trained and very obedient, she loves to be cuddled. Anyone wishing to adopt this puppy kindly call 27332715

Did You Know?

Over 60 highly appreciated volunteers are now working with us in various capacities.

Since reopening the clinic with our new Vet, we have performed  more than 6000 medical interventions, from neuterings to emergencies.

These emergencies included other animals such as bird of prey (broken leg), ferret, rabbit (removing gall stones), an abandoned mouse with eye problems and many others. 
 

78 lucky dogs have now found a new home through our Adoption Scheme.

  • One female cat and her offspring can produce over 420,000 cats in seven years!
  • Spaying and neutering stops the cycle of breeding and killing.
  • Euthanasia is the #1 killer of cats.

Summer Heat

Summer is here again, be aware of overheating not only for yourself, but also for your pets. Give them lots of shade/fresh water and please don't leave them in a car.  It takes only minutes for the inside of your vehicle to overheat, even with the window open.

Opening Times

During the summer months, our shop in Hamrun/Santa Venera will also be open on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 4 till 7PM.
