People Helping Paws Dog Rescue

People Helping Paws Dog Rescue is a foster based rescue and pet food pantry located in Jefferson City, MO. We specialize in pulling bully breeds from kill shelters in our area. We save at risk dogs that have medical issues that may prevent them from being adopted. We are committed to these animals simply because they have NO ONE. These animals are at the shelter because they have been abandoned, lost, neglected, discarded or abused and many of them have no way out but rescue. These animals are without family, love or representation. We are their voice....their future.
People Helping Paws does not accept owner surrender animals. We do not have the resources. The animals we rescue have no one to care for them or make decisions on their behalf. As the owner of a pet, only you can make the right choices for the health, safety and wellness of the animal for which you are responsible. Please consider all options for your pet.

Rescue FAQs

We are a licensed 501c3 Non-profit organization dedicated to providing spay/neutering, medical services and food to families in need in our community.

We also pull bully breeds from different shelters that will be euthanized due to their breed or from medical conditions and provide them with a loving safe environment to heal before being placed into a forever home.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fee is $225 for dogs up to a year, $200 for 1-5 yrs old and $175 for 6 and older and includes: spay/neutering, all vaccines, hw testing with preventative, flea/tick preventative and microchipping.

Send an email inquiry of the pet you are most interested in, with their name in the subject line, and we will send you a copy of our adoption application.
You can submit the adoption application via email to dogs@peoplehelpingpaws.org

After the application has been submitted and reviewed, a home visit with the dog will need to be done to ensure a perfect fit for both you and the pet. Please have all the family members (including your furry one) there for the visit.

***We do NOT ship our animals. If you are out of state and wish to adopt be prepared to drive to Missouri, meet your potential rescue and enjoy the road trip home with them.

Thank you so much for looking at these wonderful pets! They deserve the best homes possible and we are committed to finding them!
