About Us
Our Organization
Paws of Hope Rescue Turkey is dedicated to rescuing stray cats and dogs who face unimaginable cruelty in Turkey, especially due to the recent 'massacre law' that has escalated violence against animals. We provide shelter and medical care to these vulnerable animals, and work tirelessly to find safe, loving homes abroad.
Our team is committed to making a difference in the lives of these animals and the community. We strive to stand out by advocating for animal rights and promoting compassion towards all living beings.
​
​We take care of every step of the journey until your adopted pet arrives safely in your country. All you need to do is welcome your new furry friend at the airport of your destination!
Our Purpose
Right now, thousands of stray cats and dogs in Turkey are in danger.
Changes to animal protection laws in Turkey are putting their lives at risk. Many are being taken from the streets, abandoned in remote areas, or even killed at shelters. Fear and misinformation have turned them into targets, and every day, more lives are lost.
At Paws of Hope Rescue, we refuse to look away. We save and improve the lives of abandoned cats and dogs—giving them shelter, care, medical attention and love. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption, we help them find safe, loving homes in Turkey (only if we are sure that they will not be abondoned again), the EU, USA, Canada, and Switzerland. We carry out the whole process for the adopters abroad to make adoptions easier.
Our mission is simple: no animal should suffer. We advocate for compassion, responsible pet ownership, and a world where every stray gets a second chance.
