Paws2Freedom is a small HMRC registered, UK-based dog rescue charity. Made up of a family of volunteers and supporters, we are dedicated to changing the desperate situations of dogs in the UK and abroad. We operate a strict no-kill policy, instead preferring to work with the dogs to improve their health and well-being and, if needed, raise funds for surgery and a range of other treatments both curative and palliative to improve their quality of life. In some cases we seek the experienced advice of our dedicated volunteer canine coach. 

 

The dogs are at the very heart of everything we do here at Paws2Freedom and we help them in many ways:

By saving lives our main focus lies in finding homes for our dogs currently in need of adoption and in caring for our forever foster dogs either in our own home or with dedicated fosterers. Many rescued dogs never find their forever homes and it is important to us at Paws2Freedom to help provide as good a life for them as we can. It is our goal to enlarge our existing facilities to include more dog accommodation so that we can help more dogs in need.

​

We are helping dogs in need by:

​

By providing veterinary care.

By rehabilitating physically and/or emotionally traumatised dogs.

By finding homes for our dogs currently available for adoption.

By offering lifelong home foster to those dogs who cannot be rehomed.

By offering a therapy dog service to bring joy and comfort to people.

By supporting spay/neuter programs abroad to help tackle the stray dog problem at source.

By educating people in caring for their rescue dog, teaching people about the importance of spaying and neutering and re-assuring people that rescue dogs are no different to any other dog that has had a challenging start in life.

By providing food and other aid for dogs abroad. By supporting other UK rescues by home checking for them and sometimes supporting a particular of their causes.

By offering transport for dogs to a safe rescue haven.

 

Our dogs come in all shapes, sizes and ages. From playful youngsters to gentle oldies and the majority are mixed-breeds. Some were once pets that were later abandoned through no fault of their own. Some knew no other life but the terrifying experience of trying to survive on the streets or in an overcrowded shelter.

Most of them are truly happy, friendly characters always ready to trust again and hopeful of having a better life. Some have been through so much trauma that they have fear/trust issues to one degree or another. It is incredibly rewarding for us to work one to one with these souls and see them blossom. Others have only experienced mild trauma or even none at all. All of them are usually willing and able to regain their zest for life and be the happy, loving souls they were always meant to be. Finding homes for them and seeing them at the centre of their very own loving family is the best medicine we can give them and we love being part of making this magic happen for these lucky dogs.

​

The courage to trust again, the love for life and the willingness to be happy once more, which is something all these dogs have in common, makes each and every one of them our hero. It is you, our amazing supporters, who help us to make all these things happen for our beautiful dogs. Without you, Paws2Freedom would not be the strong, caring family that it is. Without you, these dear souls would stand little chance of knowing what it is to be loved, to be warm, to be able to sleep safely. To be home, for good.
