🐾 HELP US SUPPORT PETS & FAMILIES IN CRISIS 🐾

We are so grateful for every donation we receive! ❤️ The supplies you provide help us support domestic violence survivors and their beloved pets during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

While we appreciate all donations, there are a few things we are always in need of most:

🐶 KENNELS & CRATES - All sizes are helpful! We gladly accept clean, gently used crates, too.

🥫 DOG FOOD - Especially small-breed wet dog food.

🐱 KITTY LITTER - This is always a much-needed supply!

✂️ GROOMING SUPPLIES - We are still looking for groomers willing to help support our families and their pets. In the meantime, donations of dog and cat shampoo, brushes, nail trimmers, and other grooming supplies are incredibly helpful!

Every crate, bag of litter, can of food, bottle of shampoo, and donated item makes a difference. Together, we can help ensure that families in crisis don’t have to worry about leaving their beloved pets behind. ❤️🐾

You can help by shopping our wishlist, donating gently used items, or dropping supplies off at one of our convenient locations.

🐾💜 HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY! 💜🐾

Today, we celebrate the dogs who make our lives brighter with their unconditional love, goofy personalities, loyal hearts, and endless capacity to forgive and trust. 🐶❤️

But today is also a reminder of the dogs still waiting for their second chance. The scared ones. The overlooked ones. The dogs who have known loss but are still hoping someone will choose them.

At Protecting Paws for Life, we believe every dog deserves to be loved, protected, and given the chance to feel safe. Because behind every rescue is a story of resilience—and the possibility of a future filled with hope. 🐾✨

Today, celebrate your dog. Hug them a little tighter. And if you can, help a shelter or rescue dog know that they haven’t been forgotten.

Adopt. Love. Protect.
Because every dog deserves a safe place and a second chance. 💜

🐾 A SAFE PLACE FOR PETS CAN HELP MAKE ESCAPE POSSIBLE. 🐾

We’re incredibly proud to partner with to help provide emergency foster homes for pets belonging to domestic violence survivors. ❤️

When someone is experiencing abuse, their pet can become one of the biggest barriers to seeking safety. And not everyone who needs help will move into a shelter. Some individuals may access services through one of our domestic violence partner agencies while continuing to live elsewhere and they may still desperately need a safe, temporary place for their beloved pet.

That’s where BestyBnB comes in. 🐶🐱🐰

BestyBnB provides a confidential emergency foster network that connects pets in crisis with safe temporary caregivers while protecting the privacy and safety of both the survivor and their pet.

🏡 WE NEED FOSTERS THROUGHOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA!

Could you open your home temporarily and become a safe landing place for a pet while their person works toward safety?

By becoming a BestyBnB caregiver, you could help remove one more barrier standing between a survivor and a life free from abuse. Your spare room, your backyard, and your willingness to care can make an incredible difference.

And you won’t be doing it alone. ❤️

Protecting Paws for Life supports these emergency fosters with the supplies they need and may also be able to assist with veterinary/medical support when needed.

You can help a person escape without forcing them to leave their best friend behind. 🐾

📲 Interested in becoming a temporary safe place? Check out the information at https://www.mybestybnb.com/ and learn how you can get involved.

Together, we can help people find safety without leaving their pets behind.

🐾 CALLING ALL GROOMERS! ✂️🐶

Protecting Paws for Life is looking for professional groomers who are willing to donate their time or offer discounted grooming services to help domestic violence survivors keep their beloved pets happy, healthy, and cared for.

For a survivor rebuilding their life, something as simple as keeping their pet groomed can become an unexpected financial burden. Your generosity can make a meaningful difference. ❤️

We’re looking for help with services such as:
🛁 Baths & washes
✂️ Haircuts & trims
🐾 Nail trims
💕 And other basic grooming needs

By donating your time or offering a discount, you’re not just grooming a pet, you’re helping a survivor keep an important source of love, comfort, and emotional support by their side.

Interested in becoming a grooming partner?
📩 Message Protecting Paws for Life or email [email protected] to learn more.

Together, we can help pets stay with the people who love them. 🐾💜
