The Art of Paws

Dog rescue in Ocala, FL

We are a small 501(c)(3) non-profit group that rescues dogs and pups from high kill shelters in Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana. We do this to reduce the number of dogs euthanized in shelters and spay and neuter all of our adoptable animals to lower the population that ends up in shelters every year. We specialize in Herding breeds and Special needs dogs, but are an all breed rescue.
