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 a number of means, some of which are outlined below:

Cash donations by the general public through our collecting cans posted at a number of 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 raffles prizes.

There is also the sale of donated goods at our Charity Shop in Chlorakas.

Through the sale of PAWS personalised goods 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

Regular events including Coffee Mornings at the Shelter and the very popular Fun Quizzes held at Gustoso Restaurant. Annual events include our annual Raft Race, the Mutts & Butts Fashion Show, the Summer Sensation Musical Event, our Open Days and the Christmas do!

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’s bill. The dogs receive the best care and attention to keep them both fit and well, and suitable for rehoming. We have an excellent relationship with our vet, Dr Aris Fettas, so much so we asked him to be our President, and he agreed.

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.
