Island Paws Rescue Island Paws Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to promote the welfare of dogs, cats, Why help the dogs in Bimini?

is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to promote the welfare of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. We will raise money to ensure the following is our top priority.
• Maintain an adoption center and rescue shelter that takes in unwanted animals.
• Provide for adoptions of healthy animals at a reasonable cost.
• Educate the people in the humane treatment and care of animals. In particular

, we would like to have an education program that visits school children with a classroom presentation runs several times a year and publish articles in local literature.
• Attempt to reduce the population of stray animals through education and by providing spay and neuter surgery. To provide and maintain a clinic that will provide a safe environment for all surgeries with a licensed Vet on staff. Bimini has become a second home to many South Florida residents. Many of which have rescued a stray dog or two from the streets also known as the “King’s Highway” of Bimini. We have chosen to help dogs in Bimini because of the island's overwhelming need for shelters and compassion. In the States, we have many shelters, humane societies, and rescue groups. In Bimini (which has only 1600 residents) we have 1 volunteer that takes in some of the stray dogs that are in need of special attention. Unsterilized dogs roam the streets, reproducing at alarming rates. Thousands of dogs die inhumanely, suffering from illnesses and starvation. They are NOT given the right to die humanely, pain free, or peacefully. Most die in extreme discomfort, never knowing love or affection. For these reasons, we fight to raise awareness to the sufferings occurring in our own backyard. We strive for a better future for all animals!

Whether you made a direct donation, bought a shirt, fostered, adopted, shared a post, or participated in our golf tournament, our ability to cover costs associated with the spay/neuter clinics, adoption, and outreach on Bimini (+ a stray fast-food parking lot kitten in SoFL, ha!) is thanks to YOU!
We are a small organization, but our impact for these animals is mighty!

Can't let the year end without thanking everyone who made the December 2022 vet clinic a huge success. Thank you Dr. Grant of Caves Village Veterinary Hospital, Bimini Big Game Club, Sea Crest Hotel & Marina, Bimini Biological Field Station - Shark Lab, Island Paws Rescue supporters, and the volunteers & community!

It is tough to encourage pet adoption at this time of year. Too many people think the puppy or kitten under the Christmas tree is cute, but come March, they regret their decision. If you are seriously thinking about a puppy - and have decided it is right for you for years to come - please consider adding "Penelope" to your family!

*Adoption Pending!*

Meet "Penelope" - this 7-week snuggly girl is in a secure Bimini home but needs to find her forever home! If you are seriously interested, please DM us. Easiest to place in a Florida home, but other areas are possible (adopter must coordinate logistics & cover costs). Can't adopt? Please spread the word!

What does a donation to IPR's efforts on Bimini look like? It looks like covering the cost of food, nutritional supplement & meds so a local volunteer can help prep this emaciated mama for her December spay. And then, her surgery costs too.
Our shirt fundraiser closes this weekend. Please considering support via a purchase and/or donation. Thank you!

"Mouse" is Bimini-born and waiting in her FL foster for her forever home! DM us if you are seriously interested. And if not, please share, share, share. Thank you!

I'm "Mouse" and I'm ready for my forever home! I was probably born in late April 2022, I've had two doses of the FVRCP vaccine, I'm waiting to be spayed, and though I'm safe and sound in a FL foster, I'm ready to go to my forever home! I'm very shy, but also quite playful. I need someone who has time to give me one on one attention, so I can build trust.
Serious inquires please DM us.
And, everyone, please share!
