Rescue Stories
Most of our pets have come from seriously disadvantaged backgrounds and have frequently undergone rehabilitation and re-socialising activities at the 4Paws Animal Shelter.
A sincere “thank you” to everyone who has made a contribution to the well-being and rescue of these animals! You have certainly made a difference in this world!
Lando
Hi, I’m Lando! When I was rescued and taken to 4Paws Shelter, nobody expected me to survive. I was so tiny and sick, but thanks to the loving care I received at the Shelter, I’m now a fat, happy kitten.

Mona
Hi I’m Mona,
I’m one of the puppies who was recently cared for by the 4Paws Animal Shelter. In fact, I was featured on the front page along with all my siblings. We were all rescued as tiny babies and fostered so well by the Shelter that we’ve all grown into beautiful, strong puppies. I’ve just been adopted by a wonderful family and here’s a pic of me with my new bestie, going to my new home for the first time. I’m sure I will have a terrific life ahead of me, all because I had such a great start at 4Paws. Thanks to everyone who has made donations to the Shelter, allowing them to take such fantastic care of all of us!

Crystal
Well now isn’t this the life! I have been adopted by an awesome family and I’m now living in the lap of luxury! Thanks to everyone at 4Paws who cared for me and my pals. Life just couldn’t get better!
It’s frequently difficult to rehome dogs of a certain age, as was the case with our beautiful girl Crystal. It takes a very special family to welcome an older dog into their home and we are deeply grateful to the awesome family who adopted our girl.

Jade
This is Jade – a blast from the past (adopted last year)- she came to the shelter about 4 years ago and we thought she would never find a home as she was so nervous – but there is a special home for all our furry friends.

Nyx
Hi everyone! I used to be Lassie (cos I’m a bit of a collie) but I’m now known as Nyx. I love my new name, love my new family, love my new car and especially love my new collar and leash. That means lots of walks. Yay! Thanks to the team at 4Paws Animal Shelter who were so devoted to my care and thanks to the public for helping to keep us well-fed and warm.

Prince and Jamie

Julie
Hi I’m Julie,
Someone really kind has adopted me and here I am in my new garden. I haven’t found my way around yet but I’m going to have such fun exploring.
Thanks to everyone who contributed their time and donations to keep 4Paws Animal Shelter thriving. We wouldn’t be adopted into such wonderful homes with your support!

Buddy Caught in a Snare
Dear Supporters,
We were approached by the concerned staff of a company close to Brits, regarding a feral colony living on their premises. They asked if we could trap and sterilise the cats and also informed us that one of the cats is seriously injured. We managed to catch the cat and took him to our vet, who strongly believes the injury was caused by n snare. After several treatments, this cat is now safe and sound at our shelter and on his way to recovery. Every life deserves a chance, and today we are grateful to have been part of this cat’s journey to a better tomorrow.
We will continue to look out for those who cannot speak for themselves and together, with YOUR HELP, we can create a brighter future for all creatures!
