Welcome, animal lovers! If you are looking for your new best friend, you have come to the right place! Hand in Paw places beautiful dogs (and cats) in need with their perfect forever family! We realize that shelters can be a very depressing place. Hand in Paw makes adoption a happy experience, as our dogs come to you spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, micro-chipped, groomed, and socialized. Our dogs are placed in loving foster homes upon leaving the shelter, so they learn basic manners, socialization, trust, and potty training.
Hand in Paw is a registered 501c3 (Tax ID#27-1990752) dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of abandoned, homeless, and abused dogs. We seek to educate the public about the crisis of overpopulation, irresponsible breeding, puppy mills, neglect and abuse, as well as the importance of spay and neuter. We at Hand in Paw have a firm belief that the special bond between dogs and humans is something that everyone should experience, and that there are so many benefits that result from the adoption of an animal in need.
