More dogs and cats in need of veterinary care will now have a greater chance of survival after PAAWS\u2019 \u2018animal ambulance\u2019 hit the road.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The long-running charity recently bought its first official vehicle following a mammoth fundraising effort which collected almost EC$15,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toyota Noah van has space for several crates to ferry sick and injured animals to and from medical services.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A plea for funds in April saw an influx of donations from generous members of the public, including a US$5,000 gift from the Ontario SPCA. The remainder of the cash was raised via a \u2018Just Giving\u2019 crowdfunding page.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful to everybody who helped us finally get our own transport \u2013 aka the \u2018PAAWS-mobile\u2019 \u2013 after 22 years in operation,\u201d a charity spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have long been reliant on the goodwill of our supporters, volunteers and staff to take our animals for emergency and general treatment, along with essential vaccinations, and spay and neuter procedures.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

PAAWS\u2019 shelter in Parham is currently home to almost 60 dogs and cats and relies entirely on donations to run its operations. Priority is given to the neglected, sick, injured and abused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe often quoted statement that they\u2019re only animals, not people, should not be used as an excuse to turn a blind eye to suffering. A nation is judged on how it treats its most vulnerable,\u201d the spokeswoman continued.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPAAWS is lucky to have a large number of supporters, both locally and overseas. Without their help, the charity simply would not exist,\u201d she added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, PAAWS underwent a management change and has a new board at the helm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers are welcome at the Parham shelter daily from 10am to 4pm. Visit www.paaws-antigua.com<\/a> or call 561-1484 for more information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
