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.
Happy Paws is a registered and recognised non-profit NGO (VO 0119)

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
My dog, Cicca was lost in Pembroke Friday 27.08.2010 at around 7pm.She's medium sized, black with tan markings (like a Doberman) wearing a red collar.She's probably trying to find her way to Sliema from Pembroke. If you call her she'll come to you. Very very docile dog...but very fast!! I'm desperately looking for her. If you see her please try to keep her.
Please call me on 7993 8584 if you see her. Sandra Skype: sindrine

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.
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.
During the summer months, our shop in Hamrun/Santa Venera will also be open on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 4 till 7PM.
Consider giving a home to a dog and use our Adoption Scheme.
As Happy Paws is totally managed by volunteers, we always look out for friendly, outgoing people, to help in the clinic or shops. Even if you have only one morning or afternoon to spare, we would be delighted to welcome you. If you would like to be a receptionist in the clinic, you will need some basic computer knowledge.
You can enhance skills you already have or develop new ones. Volunteering with Happy Paws is knowing that you are a part of a team providing care to many animals in need. You will soon come to realize just how valuable you are to the animals and to the Happy Paws team.
