About Us

All The Paws Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, foster-based organization dedicated to saving dogs and cats in underserved and overcrowded communities. Our mission is not only to rescue animals in immediate danger, particularly those at risk of euthanasia in high-intake shelters, but also to address the circumstances that cause animals to enter the shelter system in the first place.

 

We work closely with shelters and community members to rescue animals at risk, relieve overcrowding, and provide an alternative for animals with limited options. Once in our care, animals are placed in safe, loving foster homes where they receive individualized care, veterinary treatment, and rehabilitation based on their needs.

 

Because adoption opportunities vary greatly by region, we also work with trusted transport partners to connect animals with carefully screened adopters in areas where there is greater adoption demand and opportunity for placement. This allows us to expand each animal’s chances of finding a permanent home while creating additional space for animals still in need.

 

Prevention is an important part of our mission. Whenever possible, we intervene before unwanted litters are surrendered, abandoned, or given away by working directly with members of the community. In cases involving accidental or unwanted litters, we may provide or financially support spay and neuter services for parent animals. By addressing the source of repeated litters, we can help prevent future animals from entering an already overwhelmed shelter and rescue system.

 

As a fully foster-based rescue, we do not operate a traditional shelter facility. Animals live in approved foster homes, where we are able to learn their personalities, identify medical and behavioral needs, and better prepare them for successful, lifelong placements.

 

We are committed to responsible adoption practices, appropriate veterinary care, and lifelong advocacy for the animals we serve. Through rescue, prevention, transport, adoption, and collaboration, All The Paws Animal Rescue works to save the animals who need us today while reducing the number who will need rescue tomorrow.
