DJ's Paw Rescue

DJ's Paw Rescue We speak for those who have no voice. I retired in 2015 (too young for benefits) and began doing rescue full time! I did wildlife rescue for about 6 years.

We were a privately funded animal rescue until August of 2018, we applied & recieved our 501C3 non profit organization,that helps abandoned, owner surrendered, and neglected animals. Hello everyone,,, I am the founder of DJ's Paw Rescue, I'd like to tell you about myself and my mission.I have done animal rescue for over 30 years on and off till 22 years ago when I really got into it as my true

passion. I am complicating securing my 501C3 non-profit rescue organization. I then started with domestic animals as well. This became my true passion. I began with motherless kittens, I bottle fed and raised many litters over the years and found them forever homes. I began getting so many calls and concerns about abused, neglected, abandoned, owner surrender dogs. I set my focus completely on the dogs, and I am blessed to have two very good friends that help me with the cats & kittens. Their tireless & dedicated efforts should never ever go unnoticed!! Every animal that we rescue is completely vetted, all age appropriate vaccinations as well as spayed or neutered before ever being adopted. I will not let any animal leave my rescue until this is done. We then do an extensive application, vet references as well as meet and greets and home visits to find the perfect fit for each and every fur child as well as a perfect fit for every family! We also include a contract that if the animal doesn't work out for any reason, no matter how long it's been adopted that it is to be returned to me. The contract also states me being able to do follow up visits announced or unannounced for welfare checks on adopted animals. I do not take this rescue lightly. It is about each and every animal we save! Always and forever! As of now, we survive & help these animals solely on donations and my husbands' generosity. It gets beyond expensive and the huge numbers of animals that need rescued is unbelievable. These are babies that do not make it to the Dog Warden or Humane Society. As we build this rescue page site, we will be adding many of our animal stories, pictures and updates, as well as adding animals we have up for adoptions. Please continue to check back as my page grows!!! Feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, comments or interest on our rescue fur children! Dawn Johnson

Hey we are going to be needing some volunteers for our up coming adoption events. We will need help with set up, tear down and walking the dogs etc. Our first event is in Akron at Hardesty Park on June 7th from 10 to 4, next one is at TSC (Tractor Supply) in Canal Fulton from 10 to 2 on June 14th and we will have another one on July 19th in North Canton at Witwer Park from 10 to 2. You would not have to do the whole time even a couple hours would help. We also go an hour before and after for set up and teardown. PM me if you can help out. Thank you Dawn

If you think it's easy for us Rescuers to turn away an animal in need, THINK AGAIN!!!...it is absolutely devastating to be the person who has to say NO, but we can't possibly help everyone.
Rescue is beyond horrible right now, and we are having to turn away so many on a daily basis...PLEASE find a way to keep your pets, be the one who helps an animal in need, ADOPT, SPAY & NEUTER, don't support breeding, help Rescues in any way you can!!!
We can't save THEM alone!!! We need EVERYONE'S help!!! 🙏
