Our Story
I'm Nikki Waterson, the owner and founder of Paws for Giving, but I'm also an 👩🎨 artist, an 👮♀️ emergency services workerand of course a massive animal lover!
The adorable floof next to me in the photo is 🍒 Cherry, my first ever foster-fail (that means I was short-term fostering her but fell in love and adopted her). She's the best.
Check out my video below for a personal introduction to me and Paws for Giving.
The Paws for Giving story starts with two real heroes.
Animal Rescue Workers
You live and breathe your work, and you probably don't spend much time looking after yourself. It's hard when you have to do everything - fundraising, shelter work, transport, enquiries... The list goes on.
Animal Lovers
If you could volunteer, you would. If you had spare money to donate, you would. Navigating gift giving is tough when you value social responsibility.
Our two heroes are the foundation of the Paws for Giving story...
Paws for Giving brings together our two heroes, because it's you wonderful and compassionate bunch who prove that being good hoomans makes the world a better place.
Our mission is to donate 50% profits to small and medium Australian animal rescues.
Our Purpose is to provide a way that animal rescues struggle to make ends meet less, and can rescue more.
Want to see how much we've donated in money and goods so far? Check out our Impact page.
We're pretty proud of this effort after only launching in February 2021.
