Whispaws Animal Sanctuary

Who we are

Whispaws Animal Sanctuary is a volunteer-run UK charity dedicated to improving animal welfare in Serbia. We rescue and rehabilitate abandoned dogs and cats, providing safety, veterinary care, and preparation for loving homes in the UK.

Alongside rehoming, we run a street feeding campaign to care for animals still living on the streets, and fund sterilisation programmes to reduce suffering and prevent future abandonment.

Our small, passionate team works locally in South East London and North Kent, and remotely with supporters across the UK. We rely entirely on volunteer support, donations, and community fundraising to continue this life-changing work.
