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 for those caretakers who have joined our Team, in our own Veterinary Clinic, promoting our stray dog adoption scheme and various other programs. Apart from our resident Veterinary Staff, 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.

The Happy Paws Animal Clinic is situated at 41, Cross Road, Marsa. Our Free neutering service is only for those who joined our Team with a valid Team card, who are known to us as caretakers/feeders of STRAYS.
We have highlighted the word strays, because our Charity's aim is to help animals living on the streets, that have not been fortunate enough to find an owner. We love all animals, but feel that they are the ones that need our help most. Read More

Volunteers are the key to our success! The time and effort volunteers spend at our Charity shops, with the animals in our Veterinary Clinic and helping out at our events, enables Happy Paws to keep working for our stray animals.

We are always looking out to welcome friendly, outgoing people, to help in the clinic or shops. 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.
