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.

  • Diwali ka asli plan? Iss baar, khushiyaan sirf apne ghar nahi, thodi si unke naam bhi.
This Diwali, we’re swapping the usual plans for something a little more meaningful — a little paint, a lot of creativity, and a whole lot of heart.
At Diwali Ka Asli Plan, we’re getting together to paint diyas, add our own little touches of colour, and create something beautiful. These diyas will light up our boarding, and the extra ones will find their way to people who could use a little more light and happiness this Diwali.
Because celebrations don’t have to be grand to make a difference. Sometimes, all it takes is showing up, making something with love, and sharing that happiness with someone else.
So, if you’ve been looking for a Diwali plan that feels a little different this year, this is your sign to join us!
1st November | 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Come for the colours, stay for the cause, and leave knowing you were part of something that mattered.
DM us to join Diwali Ka Asli Plan. Let’s make this Diwali a little brighter, together.

  • This Diwali, we’re scared of what comes next.
At Paws & Pause, we have over 50 dogs depending on us for food, medicines, treatment and care. Today, we’re drowning in ₹3,38,607 in unpaid bills — ₹1,86,107 in vet bills and ₹1,52,500 in medicine bills.
We’ve kept going for as long as we could, but we can’t keep doing this alone. If we’re unable to clear these dues soon, we may have to close our doors. And for the dogs who depend on us, that’s a reality we don’t even want to imagine.
This Diwali, please help us clear these bills. No contribution is too small. If you can’t donate, please share this post with someone who might be able to help.

  • At Paws & Pause, even egg day comes with a little extra love. 🥚
We record our feeding sessions and share them with all our guardians, so they can see the little moments, the happy faces, and the care their babies receive every day.
Because care should be felt, and trust should be transparent.
Want to be a part of their everyday care? Support Paws & Pause and help us keep these tails wagging.

  • Wishing everyone a happy Dussehra from all of us at Paws & Pause. ❤️
May this Dussehra bring hope, kindness, and a little more compassion into the world.
While we celebrate the victory of good over evil, our dogs are still waiting for their next meal, medical care, and a chance to heal.
At Paws & Pause, we have over ₹3 lakh in pending bills and loans exceeding ₹45 lakh to repay. Behind these numbers are lives we promised not to give up on.
This Dussehra, help us keep that promise.
If you can, contribute towards our pending bills, share this reel, or help us find someone who can. Every bit of support helps us keep going.

  • Meet Yuki, our 2-year-old pup looking for his forever home. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and ready to be someone’s favourite little person.
Could Yuki be the missing piece of your family?

  • You ask. We answer. No filters, no rehearsed responses, no sugarcoating.
An honest conversation about rescue, responsibility, and everything that comes with it.
