Partners-4-Paws has a board that is genuinely committed to the goals we've outlined. Each has several years experience volunteering in shelters and working for or with other non profit agencies in the past. Each member brings a set of skills to the organization that helps bring about these methods we will use to meet the goals we've outlined.
Partners-4-Paws has gathered a following of volunteers who are willing and able to help get the word out and to work with various businesses in the area as well as other non profits who share a passion for animals.

Partners-4-Paws has only been in existence since April 29,2019, but to date has raised nearly $10,000.

Assisted 9 animals with testing, prevention, or treatment. These animals were rescued by individuals and we assisted with costs of testing, preventatives and treatment as needed. For 7 of these animals we also provided vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip insertion. Six of these animals have been adopted into loving homes. One is in foster care currently undergoing heartworm treatment.

Partners-4-Paws has also purchased the products needed for the shelter we are sponsoring, and now each dog is being tested, placed on preventatives, and if needed receiving treatment.
