Another Day, Another Dollar


... or so they say

These days though the dollars (or should I say pounds) seem to be flowing in the wrong direction.

Everything is getting more expensive; electricity, gas, food, vet care etc etc, but we are very lucky in one respect...

Although the practical items do cost more these days our volunteers still charge nothing for their time, commitment and love that they give to their foster animals.

So thank you to all our foster carers and volunteers..... you ask for nothing for all the fantastic work you do for PAWSS and give the animals everything. We are indebted to you for all the hard work you put in to PAWSS.

Here's to the future and to better times ahead.

No rest for the wicked


What a busy old week.

2 emergencies (Brock, pictured, had just 3 days to find a home, thankfully a home came up in time), countless phone calls and some animals we simply had to say no to.

We are very lucky that Aberdeen has a few other rescues like Drumlassie, The New Arc, Willows and a few individuals who also do what they can; so when we have to say no we can at least give owners other options.

We hate turning any animal away but there is always a limit to how many rescue animals you can take on no matter how big or small an organisation you are. It has taken us years to recognise that limit and we still sometimes bend the rules ...... hearts and heads ...... hearts and heads......Sometimes your heart just wins ... no questions asked.
