(399)

Our facility is not open to the public. is a Non-Profit organization that works very closely with southern rescue groups to provide needed homes for dogs in the Southern United States. Through our program we also work to help them gain needed resources and funding that is strongly lacking in the south. It is our goal to not only provide loving homes for these dogs but to also help better shelters

and shelter life in the South. We work specifically with rescue groups in Louisiana and Mississippi which is where our dogs are currently located. All of our dogs are adopted on a pre-adoption basis and then transported to NJ after the adoption process is complete. Upon arrival they go into a 24-48 hour monitoring period, where we make sure that they have made it through transport safe, happy, and healthy. After that time period, these dogs go into their forever home. It is a long journey but it is well worth the trip. There is an adoption fee on our dogs. This fee is a reimbursement for all of the services that we have provided to the dog being adopted. We put all of our dogs through a very stringent vetting process, deworm them multiple times, run fecal exams, spay & neuter, vaccinate and have them checked multiple times by the vet. Before they are transported, each of our dogs must receive a health certificate clearing them for travel. This fee also helps us cover the cost of transport and any other medical attention the dog may require upon arrival. There is a $500 adoption fee. Please note that for all adoptions taking place after April 1, 2022 our adoption fee has increased $50 to be a total of $500. This is to help up cover all costs for the pups such as vetting, medicine, gas and other typical costs. With these having gone up over the last year, we need to increase the adoption fee to continue the work we do and help as many dogs as possible. This will mean our non-refundable deposit following the phone interview will be a total of $100 with the additional $400 due on adoption day. Because almost all of our dogs are pre-adopted there is no meet and greet process with our dogs. If you must meet the dog before you adopt then that is totally understandable, however we may not be the best program for you. We do have a back up program just in case a dog doesn't do well in his new home. In that case the pup goes back into foster care and will be put up for adoption again in the state of NJ. We have been talking about the future a lot, here at Southern Paws Inc. We hope that within the next year or so we will be able to branch out and work with other Southern states in need, such as Georgia and South Carolina. Our hope for the future is to continue to save lives and do the rewarding work that we do.

ADOPT YOUR VALENTINE šŸ’•šŸŒ¹
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Iā€™ve got a big heart,
And Iā€™m saving it for you!

With paws that go pitter,
And a tail that goes thump,
I zoom and I wiggle,
I bounce and I jump!

I may be goofy,
But my loveā€™s super-sized,
With licks and snuggles,
And big puppy eyes!

So this Valentineā€™s Day,
Wonā€™t you be mine?
I promise you cuddles,
Forever and all time!

šŸšØNALA UPDATEšŸšØ
Last night, Nala helped herself to some treats from her foster humans plates, trying to be sneaky. While it may have been yummy for her, it landed her in emergency surgery in order to save her life. Luckily, Westwood Regional Veterinary Hospital was able to take incredible care of our sweet foster girl, and she has been in recovery. In true itty bitty pitty fashion, Nalaā€™s tail hasnā€™t stopped wagging. While she needs to remain in recovery at this point, we desperately need our Southern Paws family to help us support Nalaā€™s care. Rescue is sadly a world where pay is given through loveā€¦ And unfortunately, love cannot support emergency medical bills. Any amount, every dollar will help us continue to support Nala to get back on her feet.

A few weeks ago, SNARR North East Animal Rescue, reached out for help with a dog struggling neurologically, in need of a safe place to stay, while further, extensive testing was done to determine the reason for her neurological issues. If you know us, you know neuro pups are close to our heartsā€¦ So we agreed to help. Unfortunately, Patience was recently diagnosed with a neurological degenerative condition making her hospiceā€¦ While SNARR is supporting this baby shark financially, we are helping support Patience physically, through foster, daily therapies, and lots of love through the time she has left with us.

The world of rescue can be challenging, full of heartbreak and hurdles, but when organizations come together, the load becomes lighter. More importantly, it creates a safer, more supportive environment for the dogs who need us most. This journey isnā€™t just about one rescue or one dogā€”itā€™s about teamwork, compassion, and the unwavering commitment to giving every animal a chance to thrive even if time is fleeting. And thatā€™s exactly what weā€™re here to do.

A special thank you to SNARR for allowing us the opportunity to collaborate, and become a supportive part of Patienceā€™s journey. We hope our Southern Paws family joins us to follow along in her journey as well.
