Mr. Edhi is doing an amazing job! This is exactly what we need in every city… a proper Animal Shelter for injured and abandoned animals. Is there anyway that PAWS can help contribute to make this shelter even better? Volunteers like us would love to help
This is exactly what I have been thinking lately. Mr Eidhi has taken the initiative and has a place. Is there any way PAWS can make this shelter a better place for the animals?
hi.i live in hyderabad yesterday i saw a 2 months old stray puppy who had 2 bullets shot in his back he was shouting with pain i jus called a vet and got him treated im sick of people treating animals this way they realy dont deserve it i wana be a volunteer for paws i wana do something for these poor animals im 18 years old,please you people are my last hope where do i take the injured animals ive rescued over 20 stray dogs and 10 cats who were realy injured and payed for their injuries from my own pocket theres no one here to help me,no one here takes it seriously.please please contact me and tell me where can i take these animals i had 10 dogs in my farmhouse at nawabshah frm which 8 are adopted i visit the owners once in a while unill im satisfied.i realy need help here in hyderabad.
is there any thing in lahore like this?
is there any adoption center of animals in lahore anywhere where i can find dogs or other animals at low price?
Located on the premises of the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, the SPCA in Lahore is a haven for suffering animals. See photos here: http://pawspakistan.org/photos/spca-lahore/
There is also a dog clinic at the University where you may be able to find an animal to adopt.
assalam alaikum guys we want to adopt a pure breed GSD/PITBULL/LABRADOR if any want to give plz contact us email (asadkhan332@hotmail.com) we very loving family for animals plz rply us
i am so happy that Mr. Edhi is doing an amazing thing by creating awareness in people about animal rights. we humans today are completely ignorant of other beings’s rights. Someone should speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
i just wish that Mr. Edhi makes an animal shelter in Lahore soon. i see so many suffering animals everyday especially cats, dogs and donkeys and i try to help them, generally by feeding them. but my resources are limited as i am just one person. i would really appreciate if somebody paid attention to this comment, please please think about opening an animal shelter in lahore, there are alot of unfortunate souls that need ur help.
and funnily enough, i got to know, through this website, that SPCA exists in Lahore. i dont know why but i have never seen SPCA do anything to relieve animals from their misery in Lahore, when clearly thr is a dire need of shelters and people who can give animals their rights.
SPCA, please wake up!!
Hi,
It was such a relief to find out that organisations exist in Pakistan that care for animals, particularly stray, sick and abandoned ones. All those people involved in the effort deserve our appreciation and support. I would like to know what we can do in our capacity to support this effort.
Also, i have with me a family of four stray cats (one three mth old kitten, two tomcats about a year old and a full grown cat)who have come to live at my place considering the secure environment( no naughty kids around and easy availability of food). They have now started messing up in the house and fighting as well which really irks my grandma. I would like to know through this website if anyone is interested in adopting them (really cute) or they will have to be sent to the shelter…..
Kindly solve this dilemma.
Dear, Fasiha.
Its nice to know that you are taking good care of those kittens, between there habit of fighting can easily be finished, but for that you have to keep an eye on them when they are fighting. For eg: if they are fighting keep a stick in your hand and show it to them and if required hit them slow very slow just to make them learn a lesson that when ever they will fight they will have to face the stick and trust me, there habit of fighting will finish very soon. Instead of giving them to someone you should do this.
Secondly you must realize that they feel happy and comfortable at your place, so its my humble request do not give them to someone else. Keep them and INSHALLAH there habit of fighting will finish soon. As I also own 18 cats, 2 ducks and 2 little monkeys, so I am an experienced person. Anyways its up to you but I will still request just do what I said and INSHALLAH your grandma will not be disturbed any more.
GOOD LUCK.
hi i want to adopt an animal
Thanks for the video. Not being in pakistan, I cant watch these.
Before watching it, I had decided on sending $100 as donation (I am still a graduate student) for the Animal Shelter through my mother who will be returning to Pakistan.
I encourage others with any financial means to help out in any way, even if its little like my donation.
Emily and Muniza, we’ve taken a couple of donkeys and dogs to the Ehi Shelter, and have asked them to provide some sort of shelter for the donkeys which they have promised to work on. Things are moving along, but it is a slow process. Are you based in Karachi? Do let us know how you can help..
Shayan, keep up the good work you are doing for the animals in Hyderabad. Please do send us an email at info@pawspakistan.org so we can figure out how to help.
Fasiha, thank you for your kind words of support and encouragement. We suggest you post photographs of any cats you have for adoption on our facebook page:

Asad, if you would like to adopt a cat or a dog, have a look at the ones we have up for adoption:

Jahiz, you can watch these videos from anywhere in the world. You should be able to view them in the US. Many thanks for sending us a donation. It would go a long way in helping animals in distress.
i came across many stray animals and no one is there to help. i am trying to take care of a mother and her 2 pups near my house by regularly feeding them with food and water. but the mother is paralyzed and cannot get food for herself or her pups. is there anyone or any organization willing to help. i want to start up my own animal shelter based in lahore anyone to join and take part in putting up resources. plz contact … we need to speak on behalf of these innocent animals who are being treated like filth by our so called educated citizens …..
does anyone thinks that if an animals would have talked what would be the first thing they would say …. they need people like you so plz come forward and lets do something for them.
Bless you for looking after the mother and pups. Please do call a vet to come over and see the dog. We have a list up on our website:

It’s great to hear you’re thinking of opening up an animal shelter. There are many animal lovers from Lahore on our facebook page who all want to get together to work for the welfare of animals. Perhaps you can reach out to them?
