Four Paws To Love - Santa Cruz Pet Shelter

Four Paws to Love is an all volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue group. Our mission is to rescue homeless and at risk pets from overcrowded shelters, thereby reducing euthanasia. We value the bond between humans and animals and appreciate the important role that pets play in our everyday lives. Our goal is not only to help animals, but to help people whose lives are greatly enriched by adopting animals in need. Four Paws to Love is run by volunteers who generously give their time, homes, and hearts in order to save lives. Through our foster care program, animals have a safe, healthy place to stay until loving homes can be found. We ensure that all of our rescued animals are spayed or neutered and we provide education to the community about the importance of spay/neuter in order to reduce the homeless animal population.
