Paws 4 Life

About

The Paws 4 Life Charitable Trust (CC45520) operates the largest animal shelter in the Waikato region and has been an integral part of our community’s support network for the past ten years.   

Mission

Our mission is simple – to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome companion animals who have no one else to speak up for them. It doesn’t matter if they’re stray, abandoned, wild, or simply unwanted, we’re here for them.   

Values

Our values have always remained the same – we’re non-judgmental, passionate about what we do, and we ensure that all animal decisions are determined by sound medical and ethical reasoning.  

How We Create Change

• Advocate for those without a voice
• Offer shelter to companion animals who need it and find them the perfect new home
• Educate the public about their obligations as a pet owner and help facilitate the removal of barriers to responsible pet ownership
• Work towards a reduction in stray and wild cat populations in the Waikato region by providing the public with humane traps and a place for those animals to go.
