We are a 501c3 volunteer group of animal lovers and advocates. The efforts of Paws On The Ground started with an advocacy group to reduce puppy mill commerce which grew into a foster based rescue to help animals from high kill shelters as with taking in the unwanted, displaced and abandoned.
We help facilitate transport, vetting, and the adoption of our rescued canines into their adoptive homes. When an animal comes into rescue there are a team of volunteers working together to bring an animal into safety and eventually a better life.
We assist communities with overpopulation issues by awarding scholarships for spaying & neutering to prevent more unwanted litters to the individuals who need help and are surrendering animals to rescue. We help animals locally, from surrounding states and also over seas.
The animals are the clients and the center of Paws On The Ground..

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.
