Street Paws

We are a nation of pet lovers, we all understand the positive impact having a pet can bring; both emotional and physical.

Over 20% of homeless people have a pet, this animal is often their only companion, support and family in a world of chaos and instability.

With only 10% of hostels accepting pets we have seen many people have to choose between abandoning their pet and finding housing. We don't think that's fair, it perpetuates homelessness and makes unhoused pet owners feel even more isolated.

We partner with temporary housing providers to become pet friendly.  Our Dog Champion Scheme provides training, support, and veterinary care to ensure that unhoused individuals can be welcomed with their dogs, preserving the precious bond they share and improving the community and wellbeing of all residents through the power of pet therapy.
