Paws Fur Life is registered as a non-profit 501c3 organization. Our mission is to rescue Cats, Dogs, and Bunnies in Stark County

We provide vet care as needed, vaccine, flea treat, deworm, and spay or neuter. When the rescue is fully vetted we arrange for adoption to get them into a furever home where they can always be warm, safe, and loved.

We had our first Quarter Auction Fundraiser!

Thank you Carol Howell for doing an amazing job with coordinating the event. Thank you Kathy & Louise Martin for letting us use your home to store the 108 awesome donated baskets, food, & supplies. Thank you to all of our volunteers, vendors, and donaters for your time and generous donations. We raised over $5000.00 dollars. These funds covered 17 spay & neuters in September and will pay for the 31 spay & neuters scheduled in October. We are thankful for all of your support.

We look forward to our next Quarter Auction. We had a lot of fun and hope you did too ☺️

01-01-2021 to 12/31/2021

We had another rollercoaster ride in 2021. We still battled the effects of Covid & mask mandates. Many friends, fosters & loved ones got sick, some worse then others, some lost family members. Our hearts go out to everyone that suffered illness or loss due to covid in 2021. Through all of this the rescue faced new challenges and worked very hard delivering puppies & kitties, rescuing vulnerable, malnourished, sick abandoned or neglected animals.

Thank you so much to our Fosters who helped get us through many ups & downs while we faced challenges and some heart breaks. We try to focus on all the good, learn from the sad, and pray for all our rescues to get healthy and have a second chance for a loving forever home.

In 2021 we rescued 227 cats/kitties of which 198 were adopted. We rescued 26 dogs & 8 bunnies, adopted out 21 of the dogs & 6 bunnies.

We push forward, pandemic and all heading into 2022. Praying we have the strength to get through another year, praying we continue to be blessed with our wonderful foster team and especially thankful for our supporters continued donations in food, supplies, & funds all is needed and very appreciated. It takes all of us to be a team to make this all possible for 2022.

01-01-2020 to 12/31/2020

2020 was a challenging year with the Covid Pandemic hitting us all very hard. Fortunately for our rescues many people were home in quarantine and took advantage of the time at home to rescue an animal in need.

We rescued 176 cats/kitties, 9 dogs, 5 bunnies. Of the animals rescued, 148 cats/kitties were adopted, 9 dogs & 5 bunnies were all adopted into loving forever homes.

We appreciate all of our supporters that helped us get through the pandemic and allowed us to continue to save so many in need.

We pray 2021 is an easier year and the Pandemic ends.

09-01-2018 – 12/31/2019

🐾W‏e have come to a close for our first full year as a 501c3 non-profit Rescue. Actually it has been 15 months (began officially 9/25/2018) of rescuing, learning, caring, heartbreak, challenges, successes, and most of all blessings from God, our Supporters, Fosters, Friends, and Family.

🐾In just 15 months we rescued 162 Cats most have been Spayed/Neutered, felv/fiv tested, and fully vaccined. Of the 162 we found homes for 119 cats/kittens. We provided costly but needed surgeries, eye removal, tail amputation, and emergency care for 8 cats/kittens and couldn’t have done that without our supporters.
🐾We rescued 49 dogs/puppies. Many of our dogs were pulled just hours before they were to be Euthanized. Thanks to the fosters who stepped up to the occasion. We were able to provide much needed surgeries to improve the life of 3 of our dogs. We had 39 dogs adopted and paid for Professional dog trainers for 4 of our dogs which helped them learn the manners they needed to fit in a good home.
🐾We rescued 15 bunnies and 9 were adopted in loving homes.
🐾These numbers just amazes us. We struggle everyday trying to provide the best care we can. We have not always been perfect and definitely had hard and heartbreaking days. But, we look at the successes we have had and feel so blessed to have accomplished so much in a short time.
🐾We look forward to another year and promise we will always strive to do our best to save as many as we can. We thank everyone that has helped in so many ways, by donating money, supplies, time, and just facebook sharing when we are in need. Every little bit goes a long way.
🐾Happy New Year to Everyone from Paws Fur Life 🐾🎉 Looking forward to 2020!!!
