Every person seeking safety from domestic violence deserves the peace of mind that their beloved pet is being cared for, too.

Every pet in our New Start in Life program deserves food in their bowl, a comfortable place to rest, and the medical care they need.

PAW Alliance helps make that possible by covering the costs of food, treats, crates, veterinary care, and other essential supplies for pets staying in temporary foster homes.

But we need our community's help to keep those resources available.

A donation helps us prepare for the next pet who needs a safe place.
Your generosity helps cover necessary supplies and medical expenses.
Your support helps keep this program available for families facing difficult circumstances.

You don't have to make a large donation to make a difference. Every contribution matters, and every share helps us reach someone who may be able to give.

Will you help us give pets a safe new start?

Thank you for standing with PAW Alliance and helping us care for the pets who need us most.

They deserve to be safe, too.

𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. We want to shine a light on often overlooked: victims, the pets caught in the middle of a bad situation.

Between 70% to 89% of survivors who had a companion animal during an abusive relationship reported that their abusers not only hurt them, but also threatened, injured or killed their pet(s). The fear of leaving their pet behind can keep someone in an unsafe situation.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 program provides temporary foster homes for the pets of domestic violence survivors while they seek safety and shelter.

Our fosters provide a safe, loving place for a pet to stay during a difficult and uncertain time. Fostering for PAW Alliance means you don't have to take on the financial burden. We provide all the supplies and support needed, including food, treats, crates, and medical care. All you have to provide is a safe home and a little love.

WE NEED FOSTERS. Because safety should include every member of the family. New Start in Life is 100% reliant on volunteers to provide foster homes for the companion animals we serve. Our ability to help families in crisis is limited by the capacity of our volunteers. By opening your home to a pet, you could help someone take their first step toward safety for themselves and their animals.

Our hearts are full after a wonderful day at Dogtober!

To our incredible volunteers who gave their time and energy, our generous donors who contributed monetary donations and silent auction items, and everyone who came out to show their support - THANK YOU! Your kindness, generosity, and love for our mission means more than you know.

Dogtober is our annual fall fundraising event that helps support the on-going costs of our two life-changing programs: A New Leash on Life and A New Start in Life.

Your support helps us provide food, treats, training supplies, and other essentials for the dogs in our 10-week training program and the animals staying in foster homes throughout both programs. It also helps cover vital medical expenses, including vaccinations, rabies vaccines, microchips, spay/neuter procedures, preventatives and sick visits.

Every donation helps us give these animals the care they deserve and support the people whose lives are changed through our programs.

A very special thank you to Alma Mexicana for being our presenting sponsor! We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and for helping make Dogtober possible!

From everyone at PAW Alliance, thank you for showing up, giving back, and believing in our mission. Together, we are working toward our vision of a world where all people and animals are safe and loved.
