About AW Paws Rescue
We have been animal lovers all our lives. In a desire to help make a difference in the lives of abandoned animals, by taking in many strays on their own, nursing them back to health and finding homes for them, sometimes in our own families. This desire also led them to volunteer to foster for Donna’s Chihuahua Rescue. While fostering for her rescue several times we received calls about breeds other than Chihuahua’s. We hated turning them away. We did sneak in a Poodle, Pomeranian, Beagle, and many questionable Chihuahua mixes. So we decided to continue to work with her but make it possible to help the other breeds also. So that is when Aw Paws Rescue was formed. Because the rescue at this time consist of just the two of us and we both currently have small dogs, we have decided that we need to stay 25 pounds & under.
Our organization consists of foster homes only. All foster dogs are part of our family and we take an incredible amount of time getting to know their needs and desires. We believe that knowing our fosters helps us meet the needs of both the dog and his/her forever family. We would like to have all dogs current on vaccinations, heartworm tested & spayed/neutered before leaving our rescue.
We would also like to assist in:
Promoting Spaying/Neutering. Litter Prevention
Promoting Microchip Use & Awareness
Promoting Adopting from Rescue’s not Breeders/Puppy Mills
Supporting Puppy Mill Legislation
Giving homeless animals a second chance for a good life

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
