Traci's Paws, Inc.

Traci's Paws, Inc. Traci's Paws works with rescues to increase pet adoptions & supports our community focusing on military & veterans.

We encourage foster/pet adoption, and education to keep pets in their homes, off of streets & out of shelters, reducing euthanasia. Traci's Paws is the first 501c3 of its kind founded for "Pet Rescue Assistance." We're dedicated to saving homeless animals' lives by assisting pet rescue organizations, animal centers & shelters, and pet owners in our community and nationally. Through our work, we ca

n increase these organizations' adoption success rates by facilitating adoption events and providing funds & supplies needed to keep them thriving. Traci's Paws also works with our community of pet owners to help ensure their experience is the best possible to keep their pets in their homes for life. This may be assisting with humane education, spay and neuter advocacy, our national Pet Food Fund, and providing information on other programs that rescue partners may have that benefit these pet owners. We also have a Military Appreciation Pet Adoption Sponsorship Fund for active duty military families and veterans approved for pet adoption through a 501c3 animal rescue, shelter, or center. Traci's Paws strives to work with rescue organizations, animal centers, shelters, and the community to develop a network of supporters and volunteers to create a better world for homeless pets and their families while decreasing pet overpopulation.

Hi, Military and Veteran families and individuals!
This year for Unleash the Holiday Cheer, instead of asking our vendors for a monetary donation, we have asked each of them to provide a gift basket that ranges from a retail value of $150 - $300, for our Military Appreciation Gift Shop!

Some of these may include a gift certificate for you to use at Unleash the Holiday Cheer and you will know if there's a gift certificate for you inside by looking at it, and you can use it then or save it. But it will be the perfect opportunity for some double-shopping this year!

Also, please ensure you bring one of the following types of ID for yourself and your dependents to UTHC10 to receive the gifts.

• Military ID
• Dependent ID
• Veterans ID
• DD-214 and Driver's License
• NGB Form 22

Well, today is National School Picture day and it's also Thursday, so we thought this would be a great throwback photo of Miss Bebe and Emee getting ready for school!

Not exactly a school photo for the yearbook but a pretty darn good back-to-school photo, if we do say so ourselves!

We sure miss these girls immensely but hope this photo will bring a little joy to you all today!

NATIONAL WILDLIFE DAY

"Today, National Wildlife Day encourages improved awareness of the species around us and in the broader world", NationalCalendarDay.

(Even in your own backyard!)

Remember that wildlife is "wild" and please do not attempt to pet or feed them.
If you can safely watch them do their thing from behind a window or door, that is best!

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day and we remember all of our furbabies that have gone before us.

This is a photo of our 3 spokesdogs who left a huge void in our hearts when they left.
Emee was only 15 for 2 months, Lexi was almost 19, and Bebe was almost 18. Despite Emee passing suddenly and youngish, they mostly lived long lives.

But the MOST important thing, was that they all lived HAPPY lives and were VERY loved! Knowing that makes it a little easier to rest at night.






Did you ever get to meet Lexi, Emee, or Bebe?

YAY!!! TATOR WAS FOUND SAFE!!!!!
