Pause4Paws helps people in need of emergency medical, mental health, or addiction treatment find loving and safe foster homes for their beloved pets.

Pet fostering helps minimize a primary barrier preventing pet owners experiencing homelessness, mental illness or addiction from seeking the healthcare they would not otherwise receive. If you are aware of someone in need of our services or would like to join our incredible network of foster homes, please give us a call.

A STORY FOR THE BOOKS

“I reached out to Pause 4 Paws in December 2019 when I made the much-needed decision to seek treatment for an ongoing battle with alcohol abuse. My main concern was who would care for my dog, Dolly. Because of Pause4Paws, I was able to focus 100 percent on working my sobriety. Without Paws 4 Paws, I don't know what I would have done. Giving my dog away was simply not an option. I am happy to say that as of today I am coming up on 90 days sober and going strong!"  Amanda, Dolly's Mom
