PAWS NY

A nonprofit that helps older adults and vulnerable New Yorkers by helping them care for their pets. Thus, our motto: helping people by helping pets.

The mission of Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS) NY is to help New York City’s most vulnerable residents remain with their pets by delivering critical programs and services through a community of partners and volunteers. Our programs help keep pets in their homes while protecting and promoting the human-animal bond that is so physically and psychologically valuable to our clients. We hope you'll help raise awareness for our work by inviting your friends to follow our page!

Next up in our Staff Spotlight Series is Liz Raganella, pictured here with her rescue dog Obi! Liz (she/her) is a native New Yorker who believes in the power of community and the love shared between humans and animals. She graduated with her B.S. in Psychology from St. Joseph’s University, where she participated in and coordinated community service projects in Philadelphia.

Wanting to fully engage in a year of service, Liz joined AmeriCorps after graduating and spent a year in Denver assisting people experiencing homelessness and low-income community members with accessing healthcare. She continued working with this population at a community resource center and noticed how her clients would go to any lengths to protect their pets and how that companionship made a big difference in their lives during difficult times. This stuck with her, as Liz has been a lifelong animal lover, and she is grateful to combine her interest in human services with animal welfare at PAWS. Show some love for Liz in the comments!
