Protecting Paws Animal Rescue

Protecting Paws Animal Rescue was created, founded and operated by Keri Marsh . Our rescue saves animals from shelters, pounds, and unsafe situations to give them their chance at a happy and healthy future. We are a foster based rescue and all of our animals are in loving foster homes who incorporate training to match each animals needs in order to make them great companions to potential adopters!

PPAR was created in September 2012 and is growing everyday but we are always in need of more fosters, volunteers, and donations. If you want to get involved in rescue please visit our website http://protectingpawsanimalrescue.org/ or send us an email.
