Frequently we need to put out an urgent appeal for help, this could be for a dog who needs immediate vet care or to feed homeless dogs.
Please see below for our most recent Urgent Appeals.
Each month we hold a lottery to raise much needed funds to rescue more dogs from terrible circumstances.
Lottery announcements are made on our Facebook Page, so please follow us to get all the latest information.
Please see below for easy ways for you, your family, friends and colleagues can raise funds for Happy Paws.
Can you help by putting on a fundraising event? Perhaps a coffee morning, boot sale, dress down Friday!
Anything you can think of we would love to hear your ideas.

The Turkish government are proposing a law that would round up the country’s estimated 4 million stray dogs and cull those that are not adopted within 30 days – almost certainly the vast majority.
The proposed legislation mandates municipalities collect the stray dogs and house them in shelters where they would be neutered and spayed. Dogs that are in pain, terminally ill, pose a health risk to humans, or are aggressive would be euthanized.
The Municipalities would be responsible for the costs of building extra housing for all the stray dogs.
The move has raised concerns among animal rights advocates who fear many of the dogs would be killed or end up in neglected and overcrowded shelters.
There are some reports and evidence that the killing has already begun. This has led to panic and desperation in trying to release as many dogs as possible from shelters in order for them to be safe.
What can we do?
There are hundreds of Golden Retrievers in shelters across Turkey. We rescue as many as possible and have indeed rescued and rehomed hundreds over the years. However, this is ‘off the scale’ and we are inundated with pleas to take Retrievers from the shelters to keep them safe.
We are currently assessing the situation and talking to our Trustees to see how many we can take ……… watch this space …….
Once we know, our JULY LOTTERY will be raising funds for ‘OPERATION STIG’ (Save The Innocent Goldens).
This could be Happy Paws biggest ever rescue project and we will need your support to help us in this enormous task.

This has to be one of our saddest requests for help.
This dear retriever was dumped at a local pound and she has a little pup.
She is so frightened and confused and the little pup is very weak and needs urgent help.
This continuous circle of cruelty and abuse is just heart breaking.
We simply could not look away and we want to give them a chance.
If you could help with a donation towards their care, we would be so grateful ♥️.
It’s unknown if the pup will make it but we have to try ❤️.

This is our reality! This is what we deal with every single day! Another dear soul dumped, abandoned and unwanted!
He is so depressed and confused, wondering what he did wrong to end up in a filthy pound.
The truth is some humans simply do not deserve the love of a golden retriever.
Our heart bleeds for him and we just want to scoop him up and tell him it’s all going to be ok.
We are desperate to get him to the centre and give him the vet care and the love that he desperately needs.
All donations will help towards his transport,
vet care and food.
We simply have to keep fighting for these souls,
if we don’t who will 💝.
