716 PAWS (Promoting Animal Welfare & Safety)
Our Mission
716 Paws is a group of avid animal advocates dedicated to placing at-risk animals into the right loving forever homes while working with communities to reduce euthanasia rates. We embrace each animal's past and strive to improve their future by creating a bridge to a better life.
Why We Are Here
Founded as a volunteer-based animal rescue group, we believe every animal deserves the opportunity to be loved. We act as a voice for those in need, working tirelessly to support both local and out-of-state animals in finding their perfect, life-long companions.
How We Help
We operate as a dedicated foster-based network, placing dogs into loving home environments rather than keeping them in traditional kennel facilities. Our volunteers provide the care, training, and support necessary to help these animals transition smoothly into their new lives. By collaborating with local businesses and other rescues, we expand our reach to help more animals than we ever could alone.
The Adopter Connection
Finding a forever home is a transformative journey, and we believe in making that connection a positive, transparent experience for everyone. We know that transitioning to a new home can be a big step for an animal, which is why we offer dedicated adoption-adaptation support to ensure each placement is successful and sustainable. We aren't just matching pets; we are creating lasting partnerships between dogs and the families who adore them.
