Together, we can save them all!
COLLABORATION IS KEY TO SAVING MORE LIVES! WE CAN SAVE THEM ALL THROUGH INDIVIDUALS, SOLO RESCUERS, RESCUE TEAMS, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, AND OUR SUPPORTERS WORKING TOGETHER.
By working with our international charity partners in Australia, the USA, and Indonesia, our mission is to support, educate, inspire, and activate individuals to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome, and adopt animals in need. We strive to stop the suffering of stray animals, reduce pet dumping, and eradicate rabies on the island. We help many animals with rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing. We also share the love by distributing donated food, medicine, and financial assistance to trusted individuals who dedicate their time to helping those most in need.
Our ultimate goal is to support the local community and their animals, ensuring everyone is happy and united. To help stop the suffering of abandoned animals, we aim to reduce the stray animal population through mass sterilisation, eradicate rabies through vaccination initiatives and provide affordable veterinary care and medicines for the community’s animals when needed.
TO ENGAGE COMPASSION WITHIN THE HUMAN RACE WE MUST CREATE EMPATHY, LOVE, AND KINDNESS TO NURTURE HAPPY PETS IN SAFE HOMES.

MISSION PAWS’IBLE WAS CREATED IN 2015 WITH ONE
MISSION: TO CONNECT LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE SAVING ANIMAL'S LIVES - AND SO A COMMUNITY WAS BORN.
Prue Barber, the founder and solo rescuer of Mission Paws’ible, shares her story of transitioning from a successful career in graphic design to dedicating her life to saving sick and injured animals.
Barber says, “After years of travelling and witnessing animal suffering in Nepal, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, I decided to take action.”
In Bali, Barber offered her design and marketing services pro bono to various animal projects but soon realised that the charity model needed a refresh to continue engaging with pet lovers of the 21st century. By implementing design and marketing strategies, she harnessed the prolific digital platforms that became available – Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter.

In 2019, Mission Paws’ible was officially registered as a certified charity in Australia, allowing them to grow their donor base through transparent and tax-deductible fundraising, something fundamental to Barber.
Once Mission Paws’ible was certified, Barber focused on storytelling about the animals she rescued. She filmed the process from rescue through rehabilitation and took her followers on the journey. Shortly after this, she garnered a close relationship with video editors at The Dodo, who promoted the rescued dogs’ stories, which in turn helped grow their audience, adoptions, and ultimately, donations.
As momentum grew, so did her vision. Barber wanted to save, help, and reduce the suffering on her island home. She set out to find land on which to build The Healing Centre.
In 2024, this dream became a reality, and The Healing Centre opened.
Today, The Healing Centre is fully operational and caring for 25+ animals at once.
Mission Paws’ible Charity Pty Ltd (ABN: 75628379500) is managed by a Board of Directors who are passionate animal lovers with long-established connections with Bali, Indonesia.

We go beyond rescue and rehabilitation by addressing the root causes of animal suffering, such as overpopulation and lack of education. We work to create lasting change through sterilisation programs, community outreach, and public education.
We believe in the power of local communities. By providing resources, tools, and knowledge to individuals and groups in Bali, we enable them to care for animals sustainably, ensuring a long-term impact that goes beyond our direct efforts.
Mission Paws’ible combines a strong visual identity with heartfelt storytelling to raise awareness and inspire action. Our branding and campaigns resonate with a global audience, turning supporters into advocates for rescue and adoption.
We emphasise adoption as the most ethical and compassionate way to welcome pets into families. Our mission to “make adoption the only option” challenges outdated practices of buying pets and unethical breeding, creating a culture of care and responsibility.
Our work extends to holistic care for rescued animals, including medical treatment, emotional rehabilitation, and preparing them for successful adoptions. Every animal receives individualised attention to ensure their recovery and future happiness.
While we operate in Bali, our vision is global. Through social media, partnerships, and storytelling, we connect people worldwide to our mission, inspiring them to take action in their own communities.
Mission Paws’ible is more than a rescue—it’s a movement that redefines animal welfare by combining compassion, creativity, and community empowerment to save lives and create a better future for all animals.
At Mission Paws’ible, our ultimate goal is to support the local community and its animals. We achieve this by rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing our furry companions to dedicated, safe, and loving new homes.
This week, a dog’s journey from meat trade victim to happy family pet has melted hearts online.
Captured in Bali, Indonesia, by charity Mission Paws’ible, Lucy was discovered in an abandoned construction site at three months old.
An abandoned puppy found skeletal and terrified of its own shadow’s remarkable transformation into a healthy and happy dog is captured in an amazing video.
Prue Barber, 42, found the limping puppy, who she named Murphy, cowering in terror on the roadside after likely being dumped by a cruel owner.
This is the incredible story of how an abandoned dog who was scared of human contact learned to love again. Prue Barber, the founder of the dog rescue organisation “Mission Paws’ible,” found the puppy that would later be named Murphy on the side of a busy road in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
A skeletal dog who was limping and shaking on the side of the road had an incredible transformation after he was rescued.
The abandoned puppy was found cowering in terror in Bali, Indonesia, and the animal wouldn’t allow humans to come close.
Ms Barber, 40, from Melbourne, had already started rescuing dogs on the holiday island, which has tens of thousands of stray dogs and cats as well as pets – although some of them are kept in horrifying conditions or just left to wander.
She’d helped out at an existing dog charity before starting to rescue animals herself.
An Australian woman who made a desperate effort to save a street dog has started a charity that has helped hundreds of dying strays.
Prue Barber, 40, made the move from Melbourne to Bali with her boyfriend Linus Dean, 43, after a visit inspired her to rescue abandoned dogs.
This innocent girl was found lying in a gutter in Bali, starving, half-dead. Her mouth was taped shut, and her back legs were tied together with a shoelace.
Like so many others, Mo was the victim of the illegal dog meat trade that still operates in Bali. Unlike so many others, Mo was considered lucky. It is believed little Mo fell off the back of the dog meat catcher’s bike and scuttled into a drain, where she hid for two weeks. Thank God.
Michi may look like a gorgeous, cuddly teddy bear, but she didn’t always look this way. When we found Michi, she was wandering the streets of Bali with a life-threatening and painful head injury.
