People for paws is a community action group, based near to Canoa that aims to help and protect dogs in need wherever and however we can. There are a large number of sick and homeless dogs on the streets in our area and if we act together, we can do something to make a positive change for our community and to put an end to the suffering of so many dogs that don't have a voice of their own. Ultimate
ly, People for paws aim to initiate a programme of neutering and vaccination for both the pets of low income families and of street dogs. It would be ideal to establish a working relationship with a local vet and a network of fundraiser and animal foster homes. Education in the community is pivotal and in future it is an aim to spread the word on the importance of pet sterilization, responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of animals.
