Plants & Animals Welfare Society

About us

OUR JOURNEY:

Many years ago, local stray animals in suburbs of Mumbai were ungraciously used in harrowing conditions, left to die on roadsides, full of maggot-wounds & weak due to starvation.

 But on 11th January 2001, a few youngsters decided that they needed to effect a change. So they created PAWS, the Plant & Animals Welfare Society that started with a vision to voice the distress of the animals.

They never looked back. The organization grew strength to strength culminating in a successful society truly devoted to their chosen mission and vision.

Local municipal corporations have stopped stray dog killings, but have done little to assist in the sterilization campaign. Sensing the need of the hour, PAWS volunteers played an excellent role by Picking up strays, putting them into the ambulance, taking them to Mumbai hospitals for sterilization and vaccination and ultimately releasing them into their respective areas.

In October 2001, PAWS received its first ambulance as a donation from Mr. Anil Kataria of Ahmednagar SPCA, only on the basis of the genuine hard work that members of the organization are putting in.

From then, no looking back, now PAWS has 2 ambulances, 10 peoples staff, more then 200 volunteers supporting PAWS in various ways now.
