Pause for Paws Street Dogs

What We Do

Pause for Pause Street Dogs operates under Pause for Paws, Inc., a 501C3 non-profit animal rescue organization. Our mission is to rescue abandoned street dogs, give them necessary medical care, a loving environment, and match them with their forever families. The dogs we rescue live in foster homes and some at a vet clinic while they are awaiting their forever families.

Please help us continue to help homeless dogs.  Donations help with medical care, vaccinations, spay/neuter, emergency care, and supplies. Contact us to find out how you can help make a difference in the lives of street dogs.Foster homes always needed.

 If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs please contact us. We charge an adoption fee and an application and interview with an adoption counselor is required.  All our pets are in excellent condition and have been loved by the members and the workers at the vet clinic where they are boarded or by their fosters. If the adoption does not work out, we gladly accept the pet back. If it is within the first week, the adoption fee is happily refunded.

We expect our dogs to be part of the family and not left in someone's backyard or given away to another person so we are very careful where they are placed. An adoption counselor will talk with you and go over your application. Sometimes a home visit may be requested as well. We want our dogs to find their forever homes and be well cared for and loved for the rest of their lives.
