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.
