Giving Day has officially arrived and it’s all about doing more for the animals who need us most. More rescue missions. More advanced surgeries. More rehabilitative training. More second chances. 

Promise a gift today and instantly DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT. PAWS supporter and animal lover Barbara Smith has ADDED $50,000 to our $35,000 Giving Day match—raising it to a total of $85,000! 

Doing “more” means something different for every homeless pet we help. For Ford, it meant the chance to walk again. 

Ford suffered from a birth defect that stunted the growth of a bone in his leg. As a result, he barely used that limb and the more he grew, the more it hurt.  

Elsewhere, amputation would have been the only option. But because of you, our incredible PAWS community, we're able to do more for Ford.  

Our Medical Center performed an intricate, corrective surgery requiring specialized equipment that has completely removed his pain and restored his mobility.  

Today, Ford is literally learning to run for the first time because of you.  

Make more stories like this possible. Make your Giving Day donation now.
