That means your gift will provide triple the meals, medical care & second chances to pets who are counting on us ❤️‍🩹

Sam was found with severe burns covering his back but is finally healing & loved thanks to caring supporters like you.

Latke, pictured above, was only a couple of weeks old when she was abandoned at our shelter with her siblings.

Now in a doting PAWS foster home, this exuberant puppy can look forward to a long life full of love & kindness 🤍

Want to help Hannah feel like herself again?

💌 Email [email protected] to learn more about this little love!

Hannah is ~8-10 years old & will be getting dental surgery with PAWS once she's feeling well enough.

We haven't seen her directly interact with other cats, but she's not too offended by her feline neighbors & may be OK with a mellow furry roomie after slow intros! 💕
November 26, 2025 at 1:50 PM
We’d really like to get Hannah into foster care ASAP so she can leave behind the stress of shelter life, relax into a home environment & chow down like the plump princess we know her to be! 👑

(She actually could stand to slim down, but hunger striking is not the way to go)!

We don't know Salad's history living with other dogs since he was found stray, but his finder shared he did very well with their own pups, so we think he'd do well with a dog who matches his energy.

(He has a doggy cold at the moment, so he'd need his own space to start!)

He’s a playful little ham who sometimes gets a bit over the top when partying.

He'll benefit from a foster to help him regulate his excitement & continue to build good habits 💜

He'd also be very happy to have a cat friend who can live alongside his special accommodations!

Bingo is a 1-of-a-kind cat with a 1-of-a-kind care plan & we know the right home is out there.

Love a cat with a big heart & tiny brain? 👀

If you're a lover of minimalist Scandinavian design vibes, this is your moment!

Bingo can still have toys (& loves them!), they just need to be safe for him 💛

Because he loves people so much, he'll thrive in a home with someone who WFH or a household with staggered schedules.
November 21, 2025 at 3:55 PM
Unfortunately, our buddy came here to do 2 things: party with his people & eat things he shouldn't.

Bingo has PICA, which means he tries to eat things like fabric, cords, rubber, plastic & other household items that are not digestible but are, tragically, very chewable.
