Purrs, Paws, and Claws - Springfield Chapter

We started Purrs, Paws, and Claws in 2005. We saw to many animals being put to sleep because of shelter overcrowding. We started rescueing cats and now work with farm animals and dogs mostly. We feel that we make a difference for each animal that passes through our doors. Seeing the difference if make for each of them is very rewarding. I enjoy adopting out our dogs and meeting each family. I love seeing the smiles on the faces when they meet their new family member for the first time. We have made many friends along the way and get many updated pictures of animals that we have placed. This is what keeps us going. Rescue is not always a happy thing. We shed tears all the time for the little ones that have been pushed just to far and that have given up. We show them as much love as we can until the end. As least they can leave this world knowing that they had someone that really did care for them. It's also because of these babies that we will always do what we can to make a difference for as many as we can.
