About This Cause
Precious Paws Rescue is an animal rescue / re-homing organization based near Charlotte, North Carolina. Established in 2002, we are determined to make a difference for the animals. We have obtained non-profit, tax-exempt status in the state of North Carolina as well as federal exempt status with the IRS. This status allows us to accept grants and donations from individuals, corporations, private organizations, etc. and classify them as tax-deductible for the giver. Our organization "makes a difference" for the animals in many ways. Foremost, we rescue animals from kill shelters and pounds and place them in "foster homes" until a suitable permanent adoption can be arranged. During the time we have the animal, they are provided with the best of care - including health reconditioning (if needed), updating them on vaccinations, etc. and getting them started / continuing them on various recommended preventative regimens for heartworm prevention, flea / tick prevention, de-wormer for puppies, etc. We provide a safe haven for owners who have to relinquish their pets, for whatever reason, so that these animals can be re-homed with loving families without the worries of whether they will make it out of the county pound alive. Since they go directly to foster homes after being evaluated by our vet, these animals are spared the anxiety of spending countless hours in a kennel surrounded by strange dogs ... wondering where their owners have gone, and why no one has come back for them. They go directly into the home of a loving, compassionate foster "parent" ... who gives them lots of attention and TLC! We are one of the only rescue organizations in the Charlotte area to offer a "Foster To Adoption" option to potential families. This program allows a potential adoptive family to "try" a pet, in their home ... basically a trial adoption ... to see how the pet adjusts to their surroundings and lifestyle, and how their family members adjust to having a pet. This program is an excellent means to achieving a "best possible match" between a pet and it's new home! We want each placement to be as close to perfect as possible, so that everyone involved is happy and well-adjusted. Our Sponsor/Donor program welcomes both individuals and organizations to "sponsor" a pet advertised on our website - offsetting some of the organization's costs for maintaining the animal until it is placed. This allows people with busy lifestyles to contribute to our cause without taking on the responsibilities of maintaining a pet in their home. The period over which a pet is "sponsored" is totally up to the donor. Our "Seniors For Seniors" program allows senior citizens that meet our application requirements to adopt a senior pet at a reduced rate, with the benefit of continuing to receive the rescue's discounts on veterinary services. We also assist our senior adopters with transport to/from veterinary appointments, grooming appointments, etc. Our "Pets 4 Therapy" program is a developing program in which we work with youth organizations, assisted living community homes, and other health care and community outreach organizations to give those who might otherwise not have the chance an opportunity to spend time with a pet. They may not be in a position to maintain a pet on a daily basis ... but the benefits of pets with varying types of medical patients has been well proven over the years, and we feel this is a program worth investing time and effort to support! Finally, we accept monetary donations and contributions of new or "gently used" pet-related merchandise to assist in our care of these animals.
