The Paws To Care Project

Animal rescue in North Franklin, CT

The Paws To Care Project is a new rescue organization that was just founded this year. Our rescue is located in Connecticut, but we pull our cats and dogs from high-kill shelters in North Carolina. We originally founded our rescue because when we heard about the use of gas chambers North Carolina's animal shelters we knew we had to do something. Not only are many shelters using gas chambers to euthanize their animals--there are so many homeless pets that many shelters only give a dog or cat a few days to be adopted before putting it down. We networked and connected with a few volunteers down in North Carolina who have a rescue of their own called Nash County Animal Friends. They pull the dogs and cats for us, foster them temporarily while they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, etc., and then get them on the transport that takes them to our rescue in New England and one step closer to their forever family.
We are still a small rescue, but we hope to expand and save more and more as the year progresses. We believe that all dogs and cats have the right to be loved and treated kindly; it's such a simple thing yet it's all they really ask for. We will save as many as we possibly can while pushing to stop the problem at its source; urging all pet owners nationwide to spay and neuter and always adopt instead of using a pet store or a breeder. More than anything, we are working toward the day when there aren't any more that need to be rescued.
