Standing up for people and pets facing homelessness

‘He’s so much more than 

Just a Pet’. 

Street Paws stands up for people and pets facing homelessness.

We challenge the misconception that having a pet should ever be a barrier to a secure home. That’s why, in partnership with local authorities, hostels, and support services, we provide accessible veterinary care, training, and advocacy - breaking down barriers and opening doors to make pet-friendly support the norm, not the exception.
