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

For Winnie’s Town (Mukono)

Winnie was hit by a car and left paralyzed, surviving in pain on the streets of Mukono. When she was finally rescued, her story exposed a bigger crisis:  a community full of unvaccinated, unsterilized dogs and cats at risk of the same fate. Families care deeply for their pets but cannot afford rabies vaccinations or spay/neuter services, allowing overpopulation and suffering to continue. We learned about Winnie through one of our loyal supporters in the UK, whose concern helped bring her story to light.

For Winnie’s Town, Uniquely Paws is raising $1,200 to host a free community clinic in February 2026, providing rabies vaccinations and spay/neuter services. But we urgently need your support to make this possible. Your donation helps prevent suffering, protect communities, and ensure Winnie’s story becomes one of lasting change.

For Naya's Town (Kawempe)

Naya, at just 3 years old, contracted TVT, a contagious cancer spread by unneutered dogs. Despite receiving treatment, she tragically passed away due to complications from chemotherapy. Her loss was heartbreaking and preventable. If Naya had been spayed at a younger age, she would likely still be alive today.

For Naya’s Town (Kawempe), we are raising $1,200 to sponsor a free community clinic in her honor. The clinic will provide spay/neuter services and rabies vaccinations, helping prevent diseases like TVT and protecting dogs from unnecessary suffering. Your support ensures Naya’s story leads to protection, prevention, and lasting change.

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 $1200 – $1500 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?

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.
