Paws In Need!
From The Unbeatable Paw Parent
A Note Of Deepest Gratitude And Hope!

We want to express our deepest gratitude to all of you who have supported us throughout the years. You are the backbone of our mission, and we could not have made it this far without you. You have made it possible for us to keep fighting and have carried us through our lowest moments, allowing us to come out victorious on the other side. Against all odds, we are still here—unwavering and committed to the many Paws in Need.
The crisis of pet abandonment has only worsened this year, and we are doing everything within our ability to provide a safe haven for those we can help. However, we have had to significantly slow down and reduce the number of intakes, as none of us here is getting any younger, most of us are now in our mid to late 60s. 😲
As Paw Parent is celebrating its 18th year, we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished. Since Paw Parent came into existence in June of 2008, thousands of dogs and cats have found refuge with us —the majority of them having found loving homes while others remained and still remain with us to live out their days in comfort, dignity, and peace in our care.
Rescue work is not for the faint of heart. It takes a truly special person to remain strong and not be overcome by the difficult and often heartbreaking moments we face almost on a daily basis.
Beyond the emotional toll, the financial strain of providing lifelong, quality care is constant and pressing. But we refuse to turn our backs on the souls in our care. We are fully committed to continuing our mission, but we cannot do it alone!
As we are starting our "Paws In Need" fundraising campaign, we ask you to stand with us once more. Your support gives us the strength, resources, and hope we need to keep going and ensure every paw in our care gets the love and care they deserve.
Our goal is $15,000 and our campaign will end October 31st.
Your donation is deeply needed and sincerely appreciated!
Thank you for believing in us! 🙏
With heartfelt gratitude,
🐶 All of us—two-legged and four—at Paw Parent 🐱

Help bridge the gap between life and death... become a foster parent today!
Being a "Foster Parent" requires a serious commitment of time, energy, and effort.
Although it is not an easy job, it can certainly be an incredibly rewarding experience
Fostering is the act of providing a temporary home until a good forever, permanent home is found. Fostering saves lives. It provides us with the time necessary to locate and evaluate potential permanent, forever homes for our animals.
Often, the pivotal factor between life and death for these animals is the ability to provide shelter for them while
a new home is being found.
FAQ's
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO KEEP MY FURRY FOSTER PET?
Length of stay varies from a few days to several months. We can discuss this together to find the best possible option. In rare occasions, a foster animal may need to stay even longer.
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS ARE NEEDED TO BECOME A FOSTER PARENT FOR PAW PARENT?
Commitment to providing good care to the animals you have agreed to foster. Having adequate time, living space and financial resources to provide for the foster animal.

At Paw Parent, we also want our foster parents to possess a knowledge and awareness of the pet overpopulation problem, and be committed to working towards a solution and not contributing to the problem.
