Time for a new adoption update! Again it has been ages and we’re already in January! 😲
We had 5 more adoptions since my last update and ended 2024 with 53 adoptions of dogs, cats, kittens and puppies. 🤩🥳
Not a bad achievement, considering how bad the situation for pets has been.
Petra, who came to Paw Parent with her kittens a couple of years ago, finally went to her own forever home and is a spoiled princess now. We couldn’t get a picture with her adopter because she was pretty freaked out, but I received some wonderful pictures of her in her new home.
Then a retired couple fell in love with Kylie, our 13 year old senior cat, and were so exited to make her part of their family.
Dakota, who was one of the Cowboy Corgi puppies that were dumped near us, found her new home with a young excited couple.
Jonas, a brown Pitbull, who was living with a foster found his forever home with a family who has two other dogs and who couldn’t wait to bring him home for Christmas.
And last not least the wonderful news that our Stan, a black Lab Pitbull mix, who had been with us for over two years finally found his new forever home on January 1st. He is now living with his new family and girlfriend and couldn’t be happier.
I’m hopeful that 2025 will bring us light at the end of the dark tunnel and we will be seeing less pets being given up and abandoned. 🙏
Happy, healthy New Year! 🎉

Time flies! Between trying to raise the necessary funds to stay afloat and taking care of the animals I rarely find the time to post an update on our latest adoptions. We had 9 since my last update. 😀
8 cats and kittens and 1 dog. Dogs have a hard time finding homes nowadays. 😟
Let’s start with Gregory, our gorgeous Siamese cat, who found a home with a loving couple in Ridgecrest. He was followed by Berit, who is now living with Angelica, a Paw Parent cat the was adopted last year to a wonderful home. Her new mom decided it was time for Angelica to have a new friend.
Napoleon, who was the last of the litter that was born here at Paw Parent on April 13th to find his forever home. He now lives with a young couple and has a beautiful girlfriend now, with whom he plays during the night and keeps his new parents up. 😹
Mouse, our super friendly and beautiful kitten, who was on the euthanasia list at the Hesperia shelter with his 2 siblings, was adopted next. His new mom was super excited when she learned that she would be able to adopt him. He is being spoiled rotten now.
Sawyer, who was one of the Cowboy Corgis that were dumped on a busy street just down the road from us, moved in with his new parents and is super happy. 😊
Jade and Rave, Mouse’s siblings got adopted together, which made all of us so happy. Their new dad didn’t want to separate them.🫶
Our wonderful Kleo, the devoted mom of the kittens born here in April, found her new home with one of our volunteers, who fell head over heels in love with her. 💞
And last but not not least Molly, who came to Paw Parent with her brother as extremely feral kittens went to her new home yesterday.
Molly and her brother Milo needed a lot of time and patience to learn to trust people. They both love to be petted now and have forgotten their feral past. 🤩
We are so happy for all of them and wish them the best in their new life’s chapter! 🙏
Now it’s time for our dogs, especially the larger ones, to find their loving homes. Please visit our website www.pawparent.org and click on “Our Animals “ if you have room in your heart and home for one. 🙏❤️
We also welcomed two new faces in the last few weeks,
Roxy, a 14 year old 7 pound Chihuahua, whose person had died. She needed extensive dental work and had to have 17 teeth pulled. She’s doing all better now and loves life here with us.
And then we welcomed Peanut, a terrier mix from the Lancaster shelter, who was in great danger to be put down. He’d been there for a month and time was running out for him. He has a heart murmur and because of it wasn’t getting neutered. We will get it done at our vet after which he will be up for adoption. Both him and Roxy are sweeties! 🥰

That why a registered microchip in your pets is so important!

Thanks to YOU we got our $2000 Match! 🤩
NOW FOR THE SWAN DIVE TO END PAW PARENT’S
SINK OR SWIM CAMPAIGN!

October has flown by and Halloween is now upon us! It’s time for Tricks or Treats and for the Swan Dive that marks the final two days in Paw Parent’s crucial Sink or Swim Campaign.
To all who have given, THANK YOU! Your generosity and kindness of spirit have helped us achieve the $2,000 match, allowing us to add them to our total.

To date, you have contributed $17,395 towards our $25,000 goal; and for those who are still considering a contribution, now is the time!
With $7,605 still outstanding, every penny counts! Every single cent donated will bring us one stroke closer to reaching that far shore, but there’s not a moment to lose.
Once the clock strikes midnight on Halloween, the Sink or Swim Campaign comes to a close, and what we have raised through the generosity of Paw Parents’ outstanding donors is what we’ll have to work with for the coming year.
Please be with us so with your critical support today, so we will not sink next year!
If you have a few dollars to spare, commit them now to the health and well-being of abandoned animals, some from dire straits, to make a difference in an innocent life lifted from suffering!

I cannot thank all of you enough for helping Paw Parent at this crucial juncture, and for supporting us through these difficult times! ❤️
We all wish you a happy and safe Halloween! 👻
