About Us
Pennine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is a small rescue in the North of England.
Sue Curran started taking in unwanted cats and dogs from 2007 but quickly found that demand outstripped supply in terms of vet’s bills, food supplies and space. Following a meeting with like- minded local people in Todmorden, PAWS was born. It gained registered charitable status on 9th December 2014 and has gone from strength to strength ever since.
PAWS was located in the Todmorden area and covered a 15 mile radius of the town centre. PAWS is based in Delph, covering Saddleworth, Oldham, Rochdale, Todmorden, Calder Valley, Halifax and Burnley.
PAWS is a registered charity number 1159544
PAWS is run on a not for profit basis and relies on it's team of dedicated, hard working volunteers and foster carers to keep animals safe and raise much needed funds.
