We’re dreaming big—for them. And we can’t do it without you.
At PAWS, every tail wag, gentle purr, and life saved fuels our mission. But to keep giving our animals the care they deserve, we need critical tools that can make all the difference.

That’s why we’re launching the PAWS Dream Wishlist—a collection of urgently needed veterinary equipment that helps us provide life-saving treatment and comfort to pets in need. From surgical lights that guide delicate procedures to incubators that cradle the tiniest lives, each item is a vital part of our work.

Starting this week, join us every as we spotlight one item, share the story behind why it matters, and take one step closer to our goal—together.
No gift is too small. Every dollar is a promise of hope.

Let’s turn dreams into reality—for them. 💙

🐾 Meet Cesare 🐾

This sweet boy has been with us at the shelter for far too long, and we think it's finally time he finds the forever home he truly deserves. 💙

Cesare is the whole package — he's crate trained, house trained (no accidents inside!), and great with other dogs, both big and small. He already knows how to sit and shake, and he even spent time in a foster home where he did beautifully with other pups.

Everyone who meets Cesare falls in love with his gentle spirit and loving heart. He's been waiting patiently for his perfect match… could that be you?

Come meet this wonderful soul and give him the second chance he's been waiting for. 🏡✨

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we want to honor some of the strongest, sweetest moms we know—our rescue mamas. 💐 🐱 🐶

These girls came to us scared, tired, and often with bellies full of babies. And still, they love without hesitation. They clean tiny faces, curl around squirming babies, and give every ounce of themselves to keep their babies safe.

But they shouldn’t have to do it alone.

Right now, we have mamas and their litters who desperately need foster homes. A quiet, cozy space. A kind human to care for them. A chance to raise their babies in peace.

This Mother’s Day, open your heart and your home. Help a mama dog or cat know what it feels like to be cared for, too.

Foster a mama and her babies today:

Unable to foster? You can make their Mother's Day brighter by sending some items from our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/WP8L5LUBGB1U?&sort=default

Taco ‘bout a total sweetheart—meet Peggy! 🌮 🐶

At around 5 years old, Peggy’s not into wild fiestas. Her idea of a perfect Cinco de Mayo celebration? A cozy couch, some gentle belly rubs, and maybe a taco-shaped squeaky toy (hold the guac, please).

Peggy is the kind of girl who’s all about heart. She’s calm, loving, and just wants a quiet home where she can soak up the snuggles. If you’re looking for a low-key best friend to siesta with after the party, Peggy’s your perfect match.

Let’s make this Cinco de Mayo one to remember—adopt Peggy today!

🚨 $6 SUNDAY – EMERGENCY HELP NEEDED 🚨

This emaciated shepherd was dumped like trash—starving, skeletal, and weighing just 32 pounds. He should weigh at least twice that. He is fighting to survive.

At the same time, we’ve taken in multiple dogs from several active cruelty cases—each one broken, afraid, and in urgent need of care and safety.

One urgent case after another—but we’re here, fighting for every single one.

Right now, we're asking people to give just $6. If enough people donate, that’s all it takes to fund emergency vet care, food, and the safety these dogs have never known.

They didn’t choose this. But you can choose to help.

Donate now: paws-shelter.org/donate
