Every paw deserves a helping hand

Paws of Care Network is a community-led non-profit (pending) dedicated to keeping pets and their people together. We provide food, supplies, and connections to veterinary care for families facing hardship.

Our Story

The Paws of Care Network was born from a simple belief: no one should ever have to choose between feeding themselves and their best friend. Recognizing that temporary financial hiccups happen to everyone, we rolled up our sleeves to build a judgment-free safety net for neighbors quietly struggling to afford pet care. What started as a small, volunteer-run effort to share extra kibble has grown into a dedicated resource hub, committed to keeping families and their pets together when times get tough.

Our Mission

To provide essential pet food, supplies, and veterinary connections to local families facing temporary hardships, ensuring that pets can stay healthy, happy, and right where they belong—at home.

Rooted in Community

We aren't a massive corporate charity; we are your neighbors. Every bag of food we hand out, every resource we share, and every family we help is made possible entirely by the generosity of our local community. We are currently taking the leap to become an official 501(c)(3) non-profit, laying the groundwork to help even more pets in the years to come.

Whether you are here to request some supplies for your furry friend, drop off an extra bag of food, or volunteer your time—you belong here.
