PAPAS – People And Pets Advocates – aim is to alleviate peoples’ worries and fears if ill health or other crises comes between them and the care of their pets by offering an alternative to re – homing, abandoning, neglecting or destroying a pet during this stressful time.
PAPAS are dedicated to offering free practical help, such as Dog walking and Pet Fostering, emotional and ongoing support to people in need of assistance for themselves and their pets.
There have been many incidents of people who need help, even of some who have refused urgent hospital treatment unless someone can be found to look after their cherished pets, unfortunately, not everyone has a friend or relative who is able to help in these times of need.
Max is a Pharaoh hound cross, his owner suffers from M.E. (or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and she is often unable to walk or play with him as he deserves.
PAPAS can offer help.
There is no age limit for their services so this younger dog lover can find help when she needs it.
PAPAS will find someone to be Max’s friend, someone who will take the time to earn his trust, so he can continue enjoying his walks and games. If Max’s owner is ever hospitalised or totally incapacitated a temporary home from home can also be arranged.
If a Pet needs a trip to the vet PAPAS can take them there.
PAPAS are flexible enough to be able to help wherever help is needed.
In order to offer help like this, PAPAS needs volunteers. Could you help PAPAS help others?
Could you volunteer and provide help with dog-walking, transporting a sick pet to the vet, fostering, respite pet care, grooming or help run the Pet Bereavement Phoneline?
If you can help, please contact Julia on 0300 666 3 999 or email enquiries@papas.org.uk
