PAAW understands that not all animal rescue groups have the time and/or resources to actively source or raise money to help fund their charitable work. Most have only the odd donation or money raised through their animal adoption fees (where possible) to rely on. And with most of these smaller, independently run animal rescue groups primarily focused on the job at hand - of rescuing and re-homing abandoned or lost dogs - they are often without the means to organise and hold fundraising events themselves. It is for this reason that PAAW was established.

Some of the animal welfare and rescue groups that PAAW have supported in the past include:

Rigbys Rescue

Rigbys Rescue Inc. is a volunteer organisation that aims to reduce the number of adoptable dogs euthanased in Australian pounds through means of education and hands-on rehoming of a small number of these dogs. The number of dogs rescued is limited to and often dependent on the amount of funds available to Rigbys. The objectives of Rigbys Rescue are to:

• Raise awareness about the plight of abandoned dogs in our community
• Reduce the euthanasia of adoptable dogs in Victoria
• Raise the profile of dogs in our community
• Rescue dogs at risk of euthanasia and provide permanent and safe re-homing with responsible and loving pet owners
• Promote responsibility towards dogs in our community

Soi Dog Foundation

Soi Dog Foundation is a not-for-profit, legally registered charitable organisation, based in Phuket, Thailand. The Foundation’s aim is to reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats and to better the lives and living conditions of the street or stray dogs and feral cats in Thailand. The objectives of Soi Dog are to:

• Minimise suffering of the street and stray dogs as well as feral cats through sterilisation and vaccination
• Treat the sick and/or injured who are otherwise left to suffer and/or die in the streets
• Create a better and safer environment for the people and the animals.
• Educate the people about the benefits of cats and dogs to themselves and the society at large and teach humane treatment of these animals

Love Animal Sanctuary

Love Animal Sanctuary houses over 100 domestic animals, as well as monkeys, civit cats and a one winged fruit bat named Buddy. Thailand does not have an animal welfare system and most unwanted animals are left to roam the streets or dumped at temples. The temples are burdened by this practice and in most cases the animals are neglected and forced to fend for themselves.
