Street Paws

Who we are

Street Paws is the charity standing up for people and pets facing homelessness, we believe in a future where homelessness never separates people and their pets, because for them a pet is a lifeline not a luxury.

We challenge the misconception that having a pet should ever be a barrier to a secure home. That is why, in partnership with Local Authorities, hostels and support services, we provide accessible veterinary care, training and advocacy – breaking down the barriers and opening doors to make pet friendly support the norm, not the exception.

Our culture and values

We’re paving the way to pet-inclusive support. 

We’re leading a national movement to ensure homelessness policies and services recognise the essential bond between people and their pets, making inclusion the standard everywhere

We’re building a future where no one’s left outside.

We stand beside people facing homelessness, ensuring that love and loyalty are never reasons to be excluded from a home.

We’re making pet-friendly support the norm, not the exception.

By partnering with councils, hostels, and vets, we remove barriers and open doors so people and their pets can access shelter, safety, and stability together.

We’re changing systems through partnership and purpose.

Through collaboration, training, and advocacy, we unite homelessness and animal welfare sectors to deliver compassionate, practical solutions that last.

We believe compassion should never come with conditions.

No one should be turned away for loving their pet - we fight for services that see compassion as policy, not charity.

We demand equality in homelessness support for pet owner

We campaign for fair, inclusive systems that recognise pets as family and ensure every person and pet has the right to safety and belonging.
