Merthyr Housing are delighted to be able to announce that we were recently awarded a silver PawPrint award from RSPCA Cymru in recognition of our commitment to animal welfare. We take great pride in this award and we will strive to ensure even greater levels of animal welfare into the future.
PawPrints Awards
Since 2008, the RSPCA’s PawP
rints Awards has been the only award scheme recognising good practice from local authorities, housing providers and contingency planners in relation to animal welfare.

PawPrints celebrates good practice by rewarding those organisations exceeding basic and statutory service requirements with the aim of achieving higher animal welfare standards.
