In Argentina, the growing stray dog and cat population challenges animal shelters facing limited funding, organization, and volunteer support. To tackle this issue, we partnered with Vinoly, an Argentine tech-consulting firm, to develop three innovative solutions. First, a resource guide outlining efficient shelter organization based on successful U.S. models. Second, a landing page for Vinoly. Lastly, a platform fostering connections between shelters and volunteers. By implementing these strategies, Paws Print aims to substantially enhance animal welfare in Argentina over the long term, remaining committed to creating a lasting, positive impact on the lives of these vulnerable animals.
