About Paws & Hearts

We're more than just a shelter – we're a bridge between homeless animals and loving families, creating happy endings one adoption at a time.

Our Story

Founded in 2015 by a group of passionate animal lovers, Paws & Hearts began as a small rescue operation in our founder's backyard. What started with helping just a few stray cats has grown into a full-service animal shelter that has found homes for over 3,000 animals.

Every day, we witness the incredible transformation that happens when an animal feels safe, loved, and cared for. That's what drives us to keep going, no matter how challenging it gets.

Our Mission

To rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned and neglected animals while educating our community about responsible pet ownership. We believe every animal deserves a second chance at finding their forever family.
