Support Our Cause!
We are a non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of animals in Uganda’s cities and rural communities. Through our implementing partners, Uganda Small Animal Practitioners Association of Uganda (USAPA) and Vetconekt Initiative Ltd we are making a difference in reducing the spread of rabies and controlling our roaming dog and cat populations. We no longer find dead animals in our communities because we have been able to stop mass poisoning campaigns. We are also educating the children to become responsible pet owners….when over 50% of our pet guardians at our clinics are kids, we know that animal welfare is a serious concern here in Uganda for the next generation. But we cannot do it alone. Please support our cause today!
Uniquely Paws Ltd is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the USA, State of New York, EIN 88-3582358.
Ongoing Fundraisers
Community Clinics
We raise funds to help create healthy communities by controlling the domestic animal population in Uganda, and by offering free spay, neuter, vaccine, and education clinics to neighborhoods around Kampala and upcountry villages as well. Our official launch clinic happened November 19, 2022; the budget for each clinic held in Kampala and surrounding communities ranges from $1000 – $1200 and we aim to provide up to 200 animals with vaccinations, spay and neutering, and wellness checks. Will you donate today to help support our next clinics?
Help Us Stop Rabies in Luwero
Luwero District, Uganda, is currently grappling with a surge in dog bite cases, some of which are suspected to involve rabies. Between January and December 2024, a total of 532 reported dog bite cases were documented across 18 subcounties and town councils, this presented a serious public health threat. Specifically, over 369 cases were caused by domestic dogs, mostly affecting the school going children and women. We are currently raising money to sponsor 5 Free Community Clinic days in May to vaccinate against rabies and control the overpopulation of new animals coming into the community.
Doing the Math
Uncontrolled breeding leads to a staggering number of animals in need. A single unspayed female dog and her offspring can produce 12,200 puppies in five years, while an unspayed cat can produce over 11,000 kittens. Spay and neuter programs are vital to prevent unnecessary animal suffering.
