Mission

All 4 Paws Rescue is non-profit, foster-based, all-breed, no-kill animal rescue based in Malvern, PA that offers rescue, rehabilitation, and sanctuary to animals in need. We do not have a physical shelter you can visit - all of our animals are housed in foster homes. All 4 Paws Rescue is made up of volunteers and foster homes that care for and socialize our animals. Most of our animals have been rescued from "death row" from high-kill shelters and auctions and given a second chance at life. Our goal is to offer each and every one of these animals a safe, permanent and loving home. Please help us to give each of these animals the life they deserve.

Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Approximately 5 million to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized (60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats). All 4 Paws Rescue aims to help decrease these numbers through education, lifesaving efforts, and the successful adoptions of our rescued companion animals.

Animal Adoption

All 4 Paws Rescue works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate and place companion animals in safe loving homes. Our staff and trained volunteers work one on one with families to find the animal that best meets their lifestyle and home environment while at the same time setting the animal up for successful in an environment that will meet their needs. As a foster based rescue, our rescued animals live in homes with our families and our personal pets so we are able to learn a great deal about them and their behaviors. There is no greater feeling than releasing these wonderful animals into a safe yard and watching them run and play as they should.

Population(s) Served
Adults

All 4 Paws Rescues works with various church groups, children's clubs, pre-schools and elementary schools in the Tri-State Area to educate our children about the importance of proper pet care and the value of adopting a needy pet rather than buying one. We've brought our wonderful animals to many schools and shared their stories in the hopes that they will inspire kids to take an active role in helping our nation's companion animals.

Population(s) Served
Adults

All 4 Paws Rescue is always on the lookout for new volunteers. Our volunteers are active in every aspect of the rescue from manning adoption events, transporting dogs, process adoption applications, helping fundraise, etc. All 4 Paws Rescue has built a volunteer group of animal advocates who know that by volunteering we are helping to make a difference in the lives of these animals.

All 4 Paws Rescue is a an all foster based rescue based in Malvern, Pennsylvania. As a foster based rescue, our rescued animals live in homes with our families and our personal pets so we are able to learn a great deal about them and their behaviors. There is no greater feeling than releasing these wonderful animals into a safe yard and watching them run and play as they should. They sleep curled up in soft beds in our homes when hours before they layed on concrete floors. Many have never known freedom or a full belly and they are so very thankful. This is why we at All 4 Paws Rescue do what we do - because they all deserve a home.

Most of the animals rescued by All 4 Paws have a euthanasia date scheduled and All 4 Paws is their last chance for life. Many reside is shelters that are not even open to the public but are instead holding facilities where the animals go to die. Many die in mass gas chambers or by heartstick and then are dumped in landfills. Puppies, purebreds, family pets - these are animals you would never expect to end up in these horrible situations but it is a sad reality. Through our network of shelters and volunteers, All 4 Paws has developed relationships with shelters nationwide allowing us to save countless lives that would otherwise have been ended.
