About Us

Who We Are

Established in 2022, Uniquely Paws is teaming up with a community of dedicated individuals from Uganda and beyond, united by a shared commitment to animal welfare and public health.

We not only strive to empower women by providing equitable wages and meaningful employment opportunities by producing our collars and animal-themed crafts, we are building healthier communities through the responsible management of puppy and kitten populations and the elimination of rabies in dogs and cats.

Our Mission

One community at a time, together with local governments, local volunteers, local veterinarians, and donors, and with the cries for help from our stray and rescued paws, our ultimate goal is to reduce the number of stray animals, eliminating the need for mass euthanasia by authorities, which leaves dead and diseased animals on our streets leading to vermin and other problems, while improving the health and welfare of community dogs, cats, and humans.

Our Vision

Our vision is to no longer need animal shelters as every animal born will have a home. It might be a pipe dream, but it’s what drives us. We believe our grassroots, innovative, and sustainable model is adaptable to all countries, and we will proudly offer consultation services for rescue missions around the globe.

Our greatest hope is that countries around the world will be able to self-manage animal control without our help, within the next generation. Thank you for joining in our journey at Uniquely Paws: One Community at a Time, One Country at a Time, One Health.
