Paws First Rescue

Paws First Rescue Paws First Rescue is a charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of homeless dogs. The ladies of Paws First have been active in rescue since 2002.

They are involved in many aspects of rescue, including years of being a licensed volunteer State Humane Investigator (now retired). They work with many rescue partners and look forward to many more years helping dogs in need. Paws First Rescue is fully foster based with no physical shelter or office. All dogs live in volunteer foster homes. Dogs can stay in foster care as little as a week or as lo

ng as a year or more. Each dog is spayed or neutered and given age appropriate vet care before being available for adoption. PFR often takes special needs dogs such as burns, eye issues, orthopaedic issues, deaf, and more. These dogs have medical costs far above their adoption fee, making fundraising necessary at times. Donations are always appreciated and are tax deductible. Donations can be made via GiveMN.org or paypal.me/pawsfirstrescue. Paws First Rescue is a 501(c)3 charity under the IRS tax code.

These little kiddos are doing well and eating like champs. They will hopefully be weaned off formula in the next week or so. They won’t be available to adopt for several weeks yet, and need potty pads and other supplies. Your donations help with these needed items!

Today is my (Sadie) Birthday!

Two years ago Harrison, Violet, Tulip and Daffodil came from a breeder labeled as “defective” due to injuries or being double merle.

This year these tiny yet-unnamed babes have arrived for being double merle. One boy and one girl, these kiddos are only 5 weeks old. They are less than 3 pounds each. Very tiny for Aussiedoodles. They are eating their mush like champs and have a lot to say.

I would love to raise some funds to help cover their costs as well as their upcoming medical care in a few weeks. It costs about $350 each for a spay or neuter, not including any other cares.

Happy arrival day babies!

Snickers is the weirdest cute dog Ever! His head is too big, his legs are too short and easty-westy, and he has the most ridiculous curls down the middle of his back.

Some of the fosters decided yesterday that he is actually a Shih Tzu and Corgi mix. 🤣
 Adopt him and call him any breed you would like! Snickers is a fun little boy who walks on a leash, knows a few basic commands, and loves to play. He is super friendly and wants nothing more than a home of his own to snuggle with. Find him on Petfinder today.
