Our Mission

To rescue and provide shelter and medical care for abandoned, abused, injured, lost, sick or    neglected animals and pets ............rehabilitating them wherever possible and finding them new homes or (if wild)releasing them back into the wild once they are well again. We are devoted to the welfare and protection of all small birds and animals in the Hartlepool area.   

Most are Cats, Dogs, Bunnies, Garden or Aviary Birds, Parrots, Hedgehogs, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Mice, Ferrets, Stoats, Voles, Sea and Lakeland Birds and any other small bird or animal in need of help.

We're committed to averting cruelty to 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 this responsibility. To give members of the community who have disabilities, special needs or learning difficulties the opportunity to enhance their quality of life through a varied theraputic and stimulating experience of working closely with small birds and animals.

Claws'n'Paws, and its associates, are jointly making a small yet valuable contribution to the animal community, especially when it comes to long term care for some ill-treated or injured birds and animals and we will continue to do so as long as support is provided from donors who share our love for animals and their welfare.

Claws'n'Paws is supported by the local community through our Volunteers Supporters Group which is making a real contribution to reducing cruelty to animals in and around Hartlepool and creating opportunities to enhance the quality of life for its members and the birds and animals in our care.
