PAWS accepts unwanted pets and stray animals — kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs. Once they come to our shelter, they are given medical attention, fed, and if possible, rehomed.

PAWS is an open-admission organisation that accepts all animals. As a result, animals deemed untreatable or unhealthy may not be candidates for adoption.

Animal surrenders are final and on a permanent basis. Surrendering an animal transfers full ownership and legal rights to the shelter. Owners cannot reclaim or readopt a surrendered animal after signing the surrender form.

If possible, please vaccinate and spay/neuter the animal before surrendering, and bring along any relevant records.


Surrender Process

  1. Call the shelter office on the day that you intend to surrender an animal to check if we have room for intake.
    We do not take advanced reservation or accept payment to pre-book admission space.

  2. Please be aware that if you wish to surrender an animal, you are required to donate a minimum amount.

Surrender Fee

Type (Age)RM
Kitten (under 1 year)140
Cat (1 year and up)120
Puppy (under 1 year)170
Dog (1 year and up)140
Although we have set a standard minimum donation per animal, we humbly ask that you make a bigger contribution to our organisation if you can afford to do so.

As the donations we receive from surrenders and adoptions alone are not enough to cover the costs of caring for the animals here (e.g. for food, veterinary care, vaccinations, and neutering), we also raise funds through other channels such as charitable events to ensure the welfare of the animals.

Your help can make a difference!
