PAWS

PAWS supports urgent vet care and preventive spay/neuter/vax to help reduce surrenders and euthanasia in SW Ontario

Progressive Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) is 100% volunteer run, working to help pet families in Ontario. PAWS subsidizes the costs of preventive and essential veterinary care for those who could not otherwise afford it, avoiding unnecessary euthanasia or surrender to shelters - keeping owners and their animal companions together!

Steps for Pets 2026 - LONDON | www.pawscanada.ca

PAWS Canada is a local, volunteer run charity that helps pet guardians overcome financial barriers to veterinary care. We believe that no one should have to choose between their finances and their companion animal. We provide subsidies for emergency and preventative veterinary care, organize a mobile care service to overcome transportation barriers, and provide resources that keep families together during tough times.

Last year we helped 420 dogs and cats stay with their loving humans, however that is only 23% of our applicants. The need in our community is great, and this year, we're aiming to help even more.

Whether your babies have fur, feathers, or scales Happy Mother's Day from all of us at PAWS Canada 💚

Abby came to us with 14 year old Rex in pain and unable to bear weight on his hind legs. She feared it was his time to cross the rainbow bridge.

But thanks to our generous donors, Rex is now 16 and enjoying life. PAWS was able to provide a subsidy that made it possible for Rex to be seen by a vet. He received testing, a diagnosis, and Abby learned his condition was treatable. Since then, Rex's pain is well managed and he's able to get around on his own 4 paws.

We are grateful to be able to help families just like Abby's when they need a helping hand to get veterinary care for their pets.
