Paws In Need is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving animal welfare Why Another Animal Non-Profit?

Paws In Need is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer organization that provides financial assistance for spay and neuter surgeries, necessary one-time medical treatment of community animals (feral, stray or owned), and medical care for low/no-income residents in the Tri-Valley area (Livermore, Pleasanton, Sunol, Dublin, San Ramon and Danville). Paws In Need has expanded the availability of financi

al assistance for Spay and Neuter surgeries to the general public. This is needed to reduce the number of animals that come to local shelters costing taxpayers millions of dollars each year. Under the Urgent Care/Advanced Procedures program, Paws In Need helps cover one-time costs for pet owners who cannot afford necessary emergency veterinary care. Its goal is to prevent unnecessary suffering and / or euthanasia of pets because the owner lacks financial resources.

Cerberus -- Success Story

This gentle giant was in need of vaccines and treatment for some skin issues. His owner had come upon some hard times and needed assistance to be compliant to move into a future rental. Cerberus is a good boy and everyone at the vet fell in love with him. Our organization had been gifted a giant dog training cage that we knew would go to good use one day with one of our many cases. Thank you to PetSmart for the donation of that massive cage, we finally found the perfect dog for it! Cerberus was neutered when a puppy and is a lucky boy to have such a caring owner!

Cissy -- Success Story

Paws In Need was contacted by the owner of sweet, tiny Cissy. She was feeling lethargic, likely dehydrated and while her owner was so worried, he did not have the funds to get her the vet care she needed. We were able to aid in some of the financing with an urgent care assistance grant and get little Cissy in to our friends at Doolittle Pet Hospital. Her bloodwork came out normal, owner says she’s finished the medications, is back to eating normally and is doing great. While one follow-up visit with the vet is likely, we were so happy to hear Cissy is feeling so much better.

Sweet Indi -- Success Story

Indi was found in an apartment complex in Pleasanton, being fed by a few different residents. One concerned resident decided to catch her and get her fixed so no unwanted litters were born in the complex. That’s when we at Paws In Need were contacted about our low cost spay/neuter program. Once caught, she was taken to our partner Gateway Pet Hospital. During recovery, the concerned family fell in love with her and didn’t want to return her to a life outside. Choosing between Indigo and Violet for a name, they settled on Indi. Based on her photo, we think Indi approves. Thank you to the selfless family who took the next step to save this beautiful young teen kitten!
