At Pashupati Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), we believe in the power of community. What began as a small WhatsApp group of animal lovers in July 2015, quickly grew into a professionally-managed NGO, thanks to the dedication and passion of our diverse members - from military and police officers, to researchers and engineers, and even college students. Named after Lord Shiva, the protector of all ani
mals, our mission is to pool funds from our members and the public to provide the best possible care for animals in need. In August 2016, we became a shelter ourselves due to the overwhelming number of cases we were seeing. Today, PAWS runs a successful ambulance service, with a vehicle donated by Mrs. Maneka Gandhi and designed by our team. We pride ourselves on being the first choice for animal lovers in Kolkata, known for our reliable and effective treatment. At PAWS, we understand that serving animals is not just about saving them, it's about saving humanity. Join us in our mission to make the world a better place for all creatures."
