Our Impact

For over a decade, Paws In Need has achieved notable success with life-saving programs that:

• Provide assistance to owners experiencing financial hardship to ensure the medical needs of their pet(s) are met.
• Reduce overpopulation through low-cost spay & neuter intervention that prevents new litters of kittens and puppies from entering overcrowded local shelters.
• Address the issue of free-roaming community cats through humane Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) efforts.
• Increase survival rate of baby kittens suitable for foster and adoption through a new Bottle Babies Program.
• Promote animal health by reducing diseases and injuries, ensuring wellness checks and vaccinations, and controlling feral cat colonies.

All these programs have one goal in common: to avoid suffering, neglect, surrender and euthanasia and keep pet(s) and families together.

Because Paws In Need does not operate a physical facility, we rely on strong partnerships with veterinary providers, no-kill shelters, foster networks, and rescue groups to protect vulnerable animals and amplify our impact. Paws In Need is the only organization in the Bay Area that works directly with the public to address the root causes of animal overpopulation and overwhelmed shelters.

Behind every one of our programs is a small, dedicated team of volunteers who provide hands-on, personalized case management. The kind of time-intensive support that most animal welfare groups simply cannot offer.

More attention. More care. More impact. One case at a time.
