The MAAW Helping Paws Program
Your Membership at Work
Your MAAW membership supports local residents in need through our Helping PAWS program. We provide financial assistance for eligible Mt Alexander Shire residents who can’t afford urgent diagnostic vet treatment for their companion or service animals.
With referrals from local vets, we’ve helped many families in tough times. You can donate to this life-saving program via our website’s Donate link, MAAW Member Jungle, or directly at our shelter or op shop.
