Paws in the Panhandle is a 501c3 organization made up of a growing group of dedicated individuals. We are not interested in profit, except for the heart-felt benefits that come when one of our deserving animals leave us to join their new “forever” family for the remainder of their animal life. We save as many animals as we can. We give them shelter, medical care, regular high-quality meals, comfort, stability, training, and an abundance of love. Then we work very hard to find them the very best home possible by screening applicants and working with families to find their “perfect match”. On April 26, 2019, we officially opened our sanctuary located in Lancaster. We work hard to get as many fur-babies into foster homes until they find their forever homes. During the time they are in foster care, they learn about living as a family member, understanding “house/yard rules”. They interact with the foster family, both 2 legged and 4 legged members. This allows the animal to develop their beautiful unique personality and allows the foster family to learn things such as the animal’s individual quirks, habits, temperament, and other endearing qualities. This is key in placing the animal with the “right” owner(s). As our mission statement reads, it is our long-term goal to provide an adoptive friendly no-kill shelter to house these rescued animals while they wait on their “forever” homes. This will take time, lots of volunteer help, and community resources to make this happen. We as an organization are engaged and dedicated and with your help, are sure this will happen for our county in the foreseeable future.
