For the Love of a Paw

Mission: Work toward effective management of the domestic & stray animal populations in our community
A 501(c)3 nonprofit The time has come to do better.

The fact is that there are more dogs and cats than there will ever be homes or rescues. The feral cat population continues to multiply. Litters of puppies and kittens pop up on Facebook and other forms of social media. “Free” to a good home….Many times those free puppies and kitten are never neutered or spayed and soon they will producing puppies or kittens that have no one to love them. The cycle

continues but there are solutions. It cannot be fixed overnight, but we must start somewhere. Our main goals:
Facilitate dog and cat adoptions

Helping out as we can with dogs, cats, puppies and kittens especially including the sick or injured

Spay/Neuter program for dogs and cats

Owner retention program for the elderly and those who may just be having a hard time financially. You cannot mandate compassion, but you can certainly support and nurture the very notion. The population is growing and they are suffering. One heartbeat at a time...

Josephine needs a new foster before January 4! She has been with a wonderful Foster for quite a while, but that Foster needs a break. We do not want her to have to go back to the county shelter so we are trying to find a foster before her January 4 deadline.

Josephine loves car rides and to snooze against you on the couch. She's a low-rider, a love-bug, a classic house-hippo. She has no respect for personal space because she's happy to share hers, so she believes you would of course return the favor. She's there to support you in everything - leaning over to sweep up the living room? Excellent, she will be there with all the kisses! Cooking dinner? No problem, she's there to support you from a conveniently center spot on the floor, cleaning up any untimely spill for you. She mostly just wants as much attention as you can muster, and everything left after that as well.

As the temperature drops, remember that straw is for strays and hay is for horses. Blankets and towels should never be used for outdoor cats or dogs.

These five puppies have a wonderful rescue in New York, but they cannot catch their flight until January 4. Can anyone possibly foster them until then? You get the wonderful experience of puppy breath all through the holidays without the long-term responsibility!

Update: ADOPTED!

Koda needs a new foster, rescue, or adopter! Koda was a stray that a kind person took in to keep safe. He has been neutered and vaccinated and is heartworm negative. Koda is less than a year old so he still has a lot of puppy in him. Please let us know if you can help him!

‼️ Scam Alert ‼️

Please be careful before making a donation through Venmo. Someone has stolen a picture from our page and created a fake Venmo account that is very close to ours, but it has a dash at the end. There is another fake Venmo that has an underscore at the end. Please make certain not to use either of these.

We appreciate all donations and would hate for anyone to be fooled by these terrible people. The only Venmo account for For the Love of a Paw is .

Older cats usually do not do well in a shelter environment. Please consider fostering one today!

When things get really crazy and exhaustion sets in, we remember kittens like this one that desperately need our help. About a month ago, we were contacted by someone who found a sick kitten in their yard. We assisted the people who contacted us and got the kitten seen by our ophthalmologist in Ladson. In just over a month, her transformation is remarkable. Your support and donations allow these miracles to happen! Medical care is our #1 annual expense and your donations help us provide care for these fragile, innocent creatures.

As 2024 comes to an end, please consider making a donation to For the Love of a Paw. We are a 501 (c)3 100% volunteer organization. All donations support the animals in our care and our facility.

Marshmallow

After being at our shelter for three years, Marshmallow found his forever home! When Mission Meow selected our rescue as a recipient of one of their wonderful grants, they learned about Marshmallow and wanted to help him find his forever home. After Mission Meow shared his story, a woman in Virginia fell in love with Marshmallow and decided to let him join her family. Although he was shy at first, he has settled in and is doing great. We are thrilled that Marshmallow found his person!
