RefugePaws rescues, treats, and shelters homeless animals across the United States. Our priority is the paralyzed, injured, and critically sick animals that no one else will help.
100% volunteer-run · No animal turned away
RefugePaws is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless and stray dogs and other animals across the United States. We treat, sterilize, feed, care for, and shelter animals who have nowhere else to turn.
Our priority is to help the paralyzed, injured, or critically sick street animals, the ones that fall through the cracks. We also educate the public about the suffering of neglected and abused animals.
From the moment an animal is found on the street to their long-term care in our shelter, we are with them every step of the way.
Our volunteers respond to calls across the United States, rescuing injured, paralyzed, and critically ill street animals who need immediate help.
Every rescued animal receives veterinary treatment. Our spay and neuter program works to humanely reduce the stray population over time.
Animals who cannot survive on the street live in our shelter permanently. We feed, care for, and give them a purposeful, dignified life.
We run community outreach programs to raise awareness about animal suffering, responsible pet ownership, and compassion toward street animals.
Volunteers conduct regular feeding drives for street animals in our area who are not in the shelter but still need consistent nourishment.
We find loving forever homes for animals that are healthy and ready. Every adoption is screened to ensure the animal goes to a safe, caring family.
These animals have been rescued, treated, and are now looking for their forever homes. Could you be the one?
