Who We Are

Picture
Fur a Good Paws is a 501 C3 tax-exempt, non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation. As a small but growing group of local citizens, we work to decrease the number of healthy, loveable pets being euthanized at the local animal shelter.

We help awareness about the importance of spaying/neutering, provide financial assistance for spaying/neutering, and help abused and neglected pets get vital emergency care.

  • Control unwanted litters by providing financial assistance to those unable to afford spaying/neutering.
  • Provide timely veterinary help for injured and abused homeless pets.
  • Promote education for responsible pet ownership.
