YOUR DONATION WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

"If my mother hadn’t been able to take care of my dog, I would never have gotten into treatment,” says Melanie, now 25 years sober. "I don't know where I would be today."

For people struggling with mental illness, substance abuse and homelessness, pets can be a huge source of comfort and motivation. But, pets can also be a barrier to treatment when no one is there to step in.   
​
We hope you will consider a generous donation to Pause4Paws to assist people who, unlike Melanie, have no one to care for their pet when they need it the most. Donations to Pause4Paws are a great alternative to gifts to the person who has everything, and Pause4Paws can send a card or letter to the gift recipient. 

Pause4Paws is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) private, not-for-profit organization.
​Your gift is tax-deductible to the extent provided by law. ​

Your gift makes it possible for people struggling with homelessness, mental illness, or addiction to get the urgent care they need without having to abandon their trusted pets. Instead of abandonment, these pets are matched with short-term foster families, receive current vaccinations and flea treatment, and are spayed or neutered when they are returned to their owners.

​Pause4Paws helps facilitate pet foster care for pet owners who have been referred by an approved agency or organization that helps individuals experiencing homelessness, mental illness or addiction receive necessary emergency services that they could not otherwise receive.

BECOME A PAWPAL
