Who We Are

Paws of Hope was born out of a lifelong love for dogs and a commitment to protect them. As a couple, we’ve shared a passion for animals and a deep willingness to help wherever we could. Now, in our later years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to a cause that’s close to our hearts: ending the cruelty of the dog meat trade and giving these helpless animals a chance at a life filled with love, respect, and kindness.

Our Story

We’re Peter and Elsie Murison, a husband-and-wife team who believe that dogs are far more than animals; they are loyal companions, protectors, and friends. Dogs bring joy, love, and companionship into our lives, and we believe it’s our responsibility to protect them from harm. For years, we watched as countless dogs suffered in silence, and we realized that it was time to take action. Paws of Hope is our commitment to helping dogs who can’t help themselves.

Our Mission

Dogs aren’t meant to be food; they’re meant to be part of our families. Through Paws of Hope, we strive to rescue, rehabilitate, and protect dogs from the dog meat trade in Asia and Africa. Our mission is to create a world where every dog is treated with the love and care they deserve.

Our Goals

Rescue and Shelter: Saving dogs from the dog meat trade, giving them safe shelter, and helping them heal.
Education and Awareness: Educating communities about the bond between humans and dogs, inspiring respect and compassion.
Advocacy for Change: Working with organizations worldwide to strengthen animal protection laws and encourage compassionate policies.

Join Us on Our Journey

Our dream is simple yet powerful: a world where dogs are loved, protected, and valued for the amazing beings they are. Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we can make a difference for dogs everywhere.
