MISSION STATEMENT

TO PROMOTE HUMANE BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS ANIMALS BY PROVIDING APPROPRIATE CARE, PROTECTION, TREATMENT AND SECURITY FOR ANIMALS WHICH ARE IN NEED OF CARE AND ATTENTION BY REASON OF SICKNESS, MALTREATMENT, POOR CIRCUMSTANCES OR ILL USAGE AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC IN MATTERS PERTAINING TO ANIMAL WELFARE IN GENERAL AND THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY AND SUFFERING AMONG ANIMALS.

We endeavour to help rescue and help provide emergency shelter, medical care and support for, abandoned, abused, injured, orphaned , sick or neglected birds & animals wherever they may be in the Hartlepool and surrounding area.......We are devoted to the welfare and protection of all small birds and animals in the above circumstances. We do this by providing a first call emergency and first aid service. We support and advise members of the public in non-emergency situations and support and refer to other bird and animal welfare organisations who provide bespoke help and support services. We endeavour to do this through using working together practices, projects and initiatives.

We promote aversion to cruelty to small birds and animals by providing educational, environmental and training resources to promote good animal welfare practices and to allow people of all ages to share and take part in this responsibility wherever and whenever possible.

We help educate ALL members of the community (including those who have disabilities, special needs or learning difficulties), by offering opportunities to enhance their learning, skills and quality of life through theraputic and stimulating experience methods by interaction with small birds and animals, through the activities of our 'Friends of ClawsnPaws Hartlepool' Facebook Group.

We jointly make a valuable contribution to the bird and animal community, together with our members, partners and associates, by arranging and supporting short or long term care for distressed, abused, ill-treated, orphaned, injured or sick birds and animals, and to continue doing so for as long we can provide such support from our donors, fund-raising and grants, helpers, rehomers, rehabbers, short-term foster carers and adoption schemes, and by sharing and promoting good practice in better care and welfare for all birds and animals and supporting any who are at risk or in immediate danger.

We support members of the 'Friends of ClawsnPaws Hartlepool' Social Media Community Group enabling and empowering people to make a real, valuable and responsible contribution to reducing cruelty to birds and animals in and around the Hartlepool and extended Tees Valley areas. We endeavour to create opportunities for members of the community to become more involved in raising funds and awareness in providing medication, warmth, food and shelter for the birds and animals who need help, and learning how to better and promote the social responsibility of how to help look after the welfare and well being of all small birds and animals in and around our communities and neighbourhoods.

* NB: we do not currently directly accommodate cats, dogs or wild birds and wild animals that do not fall within our present, insurance, permissions, and working arrangements. We mainly give first call emergency and first aid support, guidance, and help, referring to suitable facilities as appropriate after helping, supporting and advising on any emergency care. We also currently only offer help, guidance, advocacy and support for wildlife ensuring referral to the best professional help wherever possible. We simply endeavour to give a 'helping hand' in many situations and can often direct and advise as to the best local resources available.
