Power of the Paw is a 501(c)3 nonprofit animal rescue organization that is committed to saving the “unwanted” out of kill shelters in the state of Idaho. We do NOT get any kind of government funding and rely strictly on donations and adoption fees. Power of the Paw began in November of 2011. It got its start by being a simple facebook page that posted dogs in kill shelters bringing more attention to them in hopes of getting adopted. Then we ran across a shelter that very much needed our help. We began fundraising and found a boarding facility that gave us a good deal to hold the dogs while we looked for rescues and transports to no kill rescues throughout the entire Northwest. We began clearing out one shelter every 2 weeks, and we have gotten even bigger after that. We now have pur own rescue and foster program.We do still pull from the kill shelters and find transport to other outside no kill rescues. However, we are now looking for foster homes. Those dogs become our responsibility in the terms of medical, behavioral, and we are in charge of getting them their furever homes. Power of the Paw strives to provide professional services to the community while showing compassion to the animals of the state. We are a very small team, and prefer to make sure we can have proper communication and get the animals where they need to go in a professional manner. Our adopters, fosters, transporters, donors and supporters are like clients to us, and we will make sure they are treated as such. Opportunities to help include: Fostering, Transporting, Adopting, Fundraising, Donating, Networking. Power of the Paw is also there for members of our community who have fallen on hard times. Please contact us if you need help feeding your pet for a very short time and we welcome ALL dog food donations in order to help those who need it most.
