Jaws
'N' Paws
Jaws 'N' Paws was launched in March 2009 by a group of Rosewood
residents to try and change the problem of stray and abandoned
dogs, cats, and other animals in Rosewood, Ipswich and surrounding
areas. The group aims to help stray animals find loving new
homes, reunite lost pets with their owners, help people to
place unwanted pets and focus on the education of the public
as to their rights and obligations regarding pet ownership,
such as de-sexing, worming, vaccinations, training, local
council issues and general care. Jaw's 'N' Paws is run by
volunteers who give up their valuable time.
