Our Featured Pet...
In memory of sweet Chocolate, the little puppy that fought and fought but his
little body just gave up on him. :(

08/03/08 HAPPY ENDING! Lucky has been adopted by a wonderful family in PA with
two boys to play with and a huge fenced-in yard to run and play. His name is now
Buddy because everyone that meets him becomes his Buddy! What a happy ending for
this great boy!
07/03/08 Bigfoot (now Lucky!) update: Well I finally had my sutures removed and
am SO happy to be rid of that e-collar! I am now looking for my very own furever
home and am very excited about my new life without pain! I am so grateful to all
of the wonderful people that helped donated towards my surgery and to my
wonderful foster mom who took such great care of me during recovery!
06/12/08 Update: Bigfoot - now named Lucky - underwent surgery and fortunately
was able to be neutered at the same time. He has to wear an e-collar for two
weeks and really doesn't like it, but is learning how to be a tripod and doing
great so far! Thanks to everyone who donated towards his care and helped this
boy have a wonderful future!
06/06/08 My name is Bigfoot and I was just rescued from the shelter after being
brought in with a wire wrapped tightly around my rear foot. The wire cut off the
circulation and my foot is now "dead" and gangrene has set in. The vet
says I have to have my leg amputated, but I am only about a year old and very
strong and should be able to bounce back. A wonderful nurse has offered to
foster me after surgery to help me through recovery. Now I just need donations
to help pay for my very expensive surgery! If you would like to donate, please
use the Chip In button below or e-mail jennaluv2@yahoo.com.

Who We Are
Paws to the Rescue helps get animals from high kill shelters to approved
rescues. We help pull animals scheduled for euthanasia and get them into
temporary foster care or boarding, get necessary vaccinations for transport, and
then set up transport to get these animals to safety. One of our main focuses is
pregnant dogs and moms with newborns. Shelters are usually not equipped to
handle birthing and new puppies, so sadly they are usually the first to be
euthanized.
|
Want to help...but don't live near us?
We are always looking for transport help all over the east coast! If you are
interested in being added to our list of contacts, please e-mail jennaluv2@yahoo.com.
So many lives have been saved by our wonderful transporters!

Adopting a friend
A lot of the animals that we pull from the shelters go to other approved
rescues, but when we have foster space available we will adopt directly through
our rescue. If you see an animal you are interested in, e-mail us for an
Adoption Application. We are desperate for foster homes! The more fosters homes
we have, the more lives we can save! If you would be interested in fostering,
please e-mail jennaluv2@yahoo.com
If you don't see what you are looking for, please visit your local shelter or
one of our other rescue friends. Check out some of their websites here:
Wild Heir Labrador Rescue
Coastal Jack Russell
Terrier Rescue
For the Love of Cats
Tails U Win Dog Rescue
Noble Shepherd Rescue
Also please check out the Mary
Ann Morris Animal Society shelter in Bamberg, SC. This shelter is in a very
rural area and the volunteers work very hard to save as many animals as
possible.
