Pennine Animal Welfare Society

PAWS was set up in 2007 by our founder Sue. She was pet sitting at the time and was trying to rescue a dog. She kept being pushed back by other rescues because she lived in a flat and other circumstance. She wanted to give everyone a chance to have a rescue success story regardless of age, location or circumstance. We have no age limit for adopters  and take everyone on a case by case basis.   We have saved over 1,500 Cats, dogs and other small furries since we opened and we are currently embarking on our biggest adventure yet trying to build a new rescue from scratch after our landlord served us notice.
