They Have Been Hurt,
Ignored, & Overlooked. But Never Again

At Paws & Pause – Crash & Happy Foundation, we rescue, heal, and rehome street dogs — restoring trust, dignity, and joy to lives that were once abandoned. Because love is a responsibility we choose.

Our Promises to the Paws

We Show Up

We Heal Gently

We Build Trust

We Nourish Fully

We Choose Right

We Never Leave

We Refuse to Let Them Be Invisible Ever Again.

Inspired by two extraordinary dogs — Crash & Happy — whose courage showed us what love can rebuild, our foundation exists to ensure no street dog is ever left behind again.
From urgent rescues and life-saving medical care to gentle, fear-free rehabilitation and thoughtfully tailored nutrition, we create spaces where abandoned and injured dogs can finally exhale.
Here, they are held with patience, healed with dignity, and guided back to trust — until they are ready to walk into loving, forever families they can truly call home.

Happy Endings & New Beginnings

Because healing looks different for every paw.

Play with the kids. Give them belly rubs. Take them for a walk. Sit with the shy ones. Get covered in fur. And honestly, just chill. 🤍

  • Meet the Pack — Episode 3 🐾
Another day. Another bunch of wagging tails, worried eyes, big personalities, and little lives that depend on us.
Some are healing.
Some are waiting for their forever homes.
Some are still fighting their way back to health.
And every single one has a story worth knowing. ❤️
This is our pack. And this is what your support makes possible.
From medicines and nutritious meals to daily care, cleaning, recovery and everything in between — keeping them safe takes a village.
Want to be a part of their journey?
Donate, sponsor a meal/medical treatment, or simply share this reel with someone who might want to help.
Every bit of support keeps the pack going. 🐾

  • What people see:
Cute dogs. Happy tails. Rescue stories. Before & afters. 🐾
What we actually do:
Clean wounds. Give medicines. Wash endless bowls. Handle emergencies. Feed 50+ hungry mouths. Sit through sleepless nights. Chase pending bills. Hold scared dogs through pain. Clean up after them. Start again the next morning.
Because rescue isn’t just the moment you see on Instagram.
It’s the 24/7 work that happens when the camera is off.
And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤍
This is Paws & Pause — not just a shelter, but a whole lot of work behind every wagging tail.
If you want to be part of that work, sponsor a meal, a day of medicines, or simply share our work. Every bit helps us keep going.

  • Running an NGO looks like cuddles, wagging tails and happy rescue stories.
But behind every happy ending is a reality most people never see.
From managing endless medical bills and daily expenses, to making impossible decisions about which case needs urgent attention, to keeping an entire shelter running 24/7 — there’s so much more to rescue than what meets the eye.
And yet, every morning, we show up. For the ones who have nobody else. ❤️

  • Behind every wagging tail, every meal, and every recovery at Paws & Pause is a team working tirelessly to keep things going. 
But the reality? ₹3,50,000 in pending bills and approximately ₹8 lakhs needed every month to keep our doors open.
We want to show you what happens behind the scenes—not just the happy updates, but the work, the coordination, the challenges, and the responsibility that comes with caring for our kids.
This is a glimpse of just one day of work at Paws & Pause.
We believe in transparency. We believe in showing up. And we believe our kids deserve both.

  • They’ve been through enough. ❤️
At Paws & Pause, we believe no kid should have to fight an illness that could’ve been prevented. That’s why tick & flea care is a part of our everyday routine. Because keeping our kids safe isn’t extra care. It’s the bare minimum they deserve. 
Help us keep our kids healthy and protected. Your support makes preventive care possible. ❤️
