Paws and Prayers is dedicated to helping dogs and cats in need through spay/neuter, fostering, education, adoption, and community support. Our goal is to restore the confidence of every displaced pet by ensuring they have loving homes for their lifetimes.
Founded in 2001, Paws and Prayers began with the belief that all cast-off animals deserve the best lives as loved, indoor pets. Guided by a spirit of compassion, our organization has grown from a small group of rescuers into a dedicated force that saves hundreds of pets every single year.
We operate as a foster-based rescue, meaning our adoptable pets are cared for in the loving homes of our volunteers rather than a conventional shelter. This model allows us to provide each animal with personal attention, comfort, and the security they need while waiting for their perfect family. By caring for them in a home setting, we ensure they are better prepared for their future lives with you.
We take pride in finding the perfect fit for both the pet and the adopter. Because our animals are in foster homes, our application process helps us learn about your lifestyle so we can recommend the best possible companion for your household. We believe that every animal deserves to be treated with love and respect, and we are committed to building trust-filled, lasting relationships.
Are you ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our adoptable cats and dogs online and submit an application to begin your journey. We also welcome you to join us at our community adoption events to meet some of our furry charmers in person and see the life-changing impact of adoption firsthand.
