Fundraising
It takes a fair bit of money
to run a shelter that caters
for 150 homeless dogs.
We appreciate your support
more than ever for their
continued care.
The funding for the Shelter is raised through several means, some of which are outlined below:
Cash donations by the general public through our collecting cans posted at several locations in the Paphos area, as well as donations sent via our Facebook and Website PayPal links. A lot of people also assist by leaving donations of dog food in ‘bins’, kindly hosted by local supermarkets in their public areas. There are also regular donations of ‘winnings’ by teams that take part in local quizzes, both in terms of cash and bottles of wine. The bottle donations are used as raffle prizes.
There is also the sale of donated goods at our Charity Shop in Chlorakas.
Through the sale of PAWS merchandise such as the seasonal Calendars, Christmas Cards and Fridge Magnets at our Charity Shop and various other locations in the Paphos area.
There are 6 paid employees of the Charity:
Kennel Manager
Maintenance Consultant
Export Manager
Charity Shop Manager
Two Furniture Team Employees
There are regular events such as Coffee Mornings held at the Shelter and the very popular Fun Quizzes held at the Phoenix Club in Kato Paphos. Annual events include our Mutts & Butts Fashion Show, our Open Days and the Christmas Party!
With 150 plus active dogs things can get a bit frayed at the edges and the Shelter constantly needs maintenance.
The food bill also runs to a fair amount, but that is always reduced by the donations that regularly come from individuals and organisations such as Zypernhunde, a German charity with strong links to PAWS, both in food donations and sundries, and the rehoming of PAWS residents in Germany and Austria. We are also very grateful to the ad-hoc donations from local suppliers and pet shops, visitors to the Shelter, both residents and holiday-makers.
The biggest item in our budget is the vet bill. The dogs receive the best care and attention to keep them both fit and well, and suitable for rehoming.
We require two vehicles for the shelter to operate efficiently, however one of our current vehicles is now showing its age with the related costs of running an older vehicle.
