Ways to Support Paws a While

There are many ways to help at Paws A While Shelter.


Whether you volunteer your time, sponsor a dog or kennel, donate, or fundraise for us, every contribution makes a real difference to the dogs in our care.

Join our community and help us give rescue dogs the second chance they deserve.


Join Our Volunteer Team

We’re a small, self-funded dog rescue powered entirely by volunteers. Every walk, every clean kennel, every fundraising event makes a real difference.


If you love dogs and want to be part of something meaningful, we’d love to welcome you to the team.

Sponsor a Dog or Kennel at PAWS

Not everyone can adopt, but everyone can make a difference.

Sponsor a dog and follow their journey with regular updates and news, or sponsor a PAWS kennel in honour or memory of a loved one, with a personalised plaque displayed at the shelter.


Your support helps fund food, training, enrichment and daily care while dogs wait for their forever homes.

Help Us Change Lives

We’re a small, self-funded dog rescue powered entirely by volunteers. Every donation helps cover food, vet bills, training and everything our dogs need while they wait for their forever homes.
