Phnom Penh Animal Welfare Society (PPAWS) was founded by English teacher Nicola Scales in 2011 out of a desire to address the challenging conditions companion animals face in Cambodia. With the help of many Khmer and expat animal lovers who shared Nicola’s vision, the organisation has since grown to a household name as it has expanded to serve animals countrywide. In 2019, PPAWS opened a second clinic in Kampot, which serves as a secondary base of operations.<\/p>\n

Based on previous years estimates, it is expected that PPAWS will offer 491 desexing surgeries, 1790 worm treatments, and 1666 rabies vaccinations before the end of 2024 through monthly missions, pagoda visits, and Free Mondays and Tuesdays. This has been achieved through PPAWS’ dedication to offering free and low cost veterinary care to the community via of our clinics pagoda visits, and through missions to rural areas that lack access to a vet. In addition, PPAWS focuses on community outreach and education on responsible pet ownership and animal welfare as a means to prevent animal suffering before it occurs. <\/p>\n

This is all thanks to the dedication of the PPAWS veterinary team, partner animal welfare organisations, as well as both local and international volunteers, and most importantly, people like you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
