This handsome black-and-white long-haired boy is ready to find his forever home! 🖤🤍 Oreo will be making his debut at PetSmart Ventura TOMORROW at noon, and he can’t wait to meet you! 😻

Oreo is not just a pretty face – he’s a total lovebug with the sweetest personality. He’s a cuddly, gentle soul who will happily snuggle up for cozy moments and endless purrs. 🥰

Oreo is FIV positive, but don’t let that scare you! FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is not contagious to humans or other pets (unless deep bite wounds).

At our rescue and Paw Works Veterinary Hospital, we strive to provide the best care possible for every pet that comes through our doors. Right now, we urgently need a Pulse Oximeter—a crucial piece of surgical monitoring equipment—to ensure the safety of our patients during surgery and recovery.

A Pulse Oximeter measures oxygen levels and heart rate, giving our team vital real-time information to prevent complications like respiratory distress, low oxygen levels, or sudden changes in heart rates. It’s an essential tool for keeping our furry patients safe and stable while under anesthesia and during post-surgical recovery.

We need to raise $652.22 (before tax) to purchase this life-saving device. Every dollar helps, and your generosity means we can continue providing top-notch care for animals in need!

When we received a request to take in this sweet girl, our hearts broke.

Rue was failed by her humans, left in a yard, starving not just literally but also for love. She was 28lbs, skin and bones and needed someone to save her. Fortunately some amazing humans, Dixie and Mindy, did just that. They were able to secure her rescue and began the process to nurse her back to health while they looked for a rescue to take her in. After exhausting all options they reached out to us and we were able to take her in.

She is doing amazing, steadily gaining weight and is the sweetest girl! She is about 40lbs so a very petit husky, and loves EVERYONE. She does well with dogs and has been indifferent towards cats, she is also incredibly outgoing and loved going on her recent field trip!

If you’re interested in meeting this amazing little lady, send us a DM!

Our Story

Established on January 17, 2014, Paw Works was founded with the clear mission, to help make Ventura County "No Kill". By forming a rescue organization designed to place unwanted animals from county and city shelters in permanent homes, we hoped to help ease the tragic burden that is created when owners abandon their animals, and fail to spay or neuter their pets.

Ventura County was able to achieve “No Kill” status less than a month after Paw Works was formed, through the shear determination and support provided directly from our organization. Today, Paw Works takes in over 1,600 abandoned animals from multiple counties all over California, as well as from other rescue organizations throughout the state yearly.

With 98% of every donated dollar going back directly to the rescue, care, education and adoption to Paw Works' animals saved, we have been able to achieve significant growth in the past 5 years: 1) Over 5,500 dogs and cats saved to date 2) Two adoption centers in upscale, local malls 3) Opened and operate a board & train facility for our rescue animals 4) Created the Child Pet Ambassador (CPA) Program, which services over 200 local children with hands on interactive volunteer opportunities 5) Provided over 500 free spay & neuter services for low-income residents of LA and Ventura County.

With the help of our community, we can continue to off-set our yearly budget of $1.2+ million and continue our growth into long-term, local and national initiatives, legislation and education through the growth of our CPA program. As a 501(c)3, nonprofit corporation, all donations are tax deductible, www.pawworks.org.
