Overview

About Paws Rescue Incorporated

Paws Rescue Incorporated takes in cats and dogs that have been neglected, abused, abandoned, injured, or left without another safe option. From there, animals may go into foster homes or partner facilities, where they get veterinary evaluation, spay or neuter procedures, vaccinations, and other needed care. If you want to support animals that might otherwise have nowhere to go, this is the kind of rescue work that turns urgency into a real next step.

Paws Rescue focuses on the animals with the hardest road, the ones with no easy path to safety. Its work moves them through foster placement, adoption, transport, and veterinary care, with partner facilities that do not practice euthanasia.

Impact in person

Stories

Pearl’s Adoption Story

Robin M adopted Pearl after being drawn to her sweet nature and gentle personality. Pearl joined a family ready for a loving forever home and new adventures.

Pearl’s sweet nature and undeniable charm captured my heart instantly.

Brody’s Adoption Story

Brody moved from fear and confusion to safety in foster care, where he received veterinary care, including surgery to repair his eye. He eventually became a permanent member of his foster family.

With trips to the vet, surgery to repair his eye, and lots of love, he began to trust us.

Obi’s Adoption Story

Obsidian, called Obi, was one of the labs dumped in a rural area to fend for himself. He settled into foster care, enjoyed playing with other dogs and cats, and ultimately became part of the foster family.

That first night, Obi slept snuggled up beside me, and my heart completely melted.

Banjo’s Christmas Miracle

Banjo stayed in PAWS care until he found his forever home on December 7, 2024, after his new family was ready to adopt a rescue dog again.

He will never have to wonder where he belongs or who loves him.

Mochi’s Adoption Update

Mochi's owner asked PAWS to help find her a home when he could no longer care for her. She went to foster care and was adopted within a few days.

There’s something deeply rewarding about giving an older dog a second chance.
