Charity
We have chosen Paws R Us as our charity for 2013. All proceeds will be donated to this non-profit organisation.
Paws R Us was founded in 2010 and is essentially a “vehicle”, a mission, or a cause through which we strive to inform, unite and mobilize animal lovers in support of animal welfare in South Africa.
We pledge to support animal welfare around the country through a variety of different initiatives. This ranges from activities such as – identifying and deploying volunteers to assist SPCA branches with a variety of different tasks – to using social media to inform and educate society, and networking homeless or lost animals.
It also includes our own rescue and re-homing efforts, and the need to pull fundraising projects together to raise funds sustain it all.
