Expert canine training to combat poaching and theft in South Africa
About Paws
Founded in 2023, PAWS started from humble beginnings with a passion for the bush and an unwavering commitment to combat poaching and theft. Although newly established, we have extensive experience in training, consulting and the use of canines and advanced technology systems to combat theft and poaching. Our specialized teams are fuelled by passion and strive to make a lasting impact and to preserve our environment and ecosystems. Therefore, we see it as part of our role to raise awareness about all the challenges and dangers being faced daily. At PAWS we are focused on protecting all livestock, crops, property and wildlife by securing ecosystems, community empowerment, and a dedicated 24/7 presence on site to guarantee a sustainable future, not only for the owners of wildlife and crops, but also the protection of wildlife for future generations to come. Our approach to wildlife and crop protection is unique. Not only do we use cutting edge technology and canine units in our daily operations, but we also understand the value of real engagement and involvement of local communities in our fight against poaching.
