Our Purpose

Removing Barriers. Preserving Bonds.

When people need to leave unsafe situations, pets are often part of the decision. We provide temporary, caring foster homes for companion animals, giving families the opportunity to access safety, support, and stability without leaving a cherished pet behind.

Mission

Vision

Paws Until Home Society provides safe, confidential, and compassionate temporary care for companion animals whose owners are experiencing crisis. Through trusted community partnerships and dedicated foster volunteers, we protect the human-animal bond and ensure pets are cared for until they can safely return home to the people who love them.

A future where no one is prevented from accessing safety, support, or stability because of concern for a beloved pet.

The Critical Gap

No One Should Have to Choose Between Safety and Their Pet

For many individuals experiencing violence, pets can become an unexpected barrier to seeking help. Limited pet-friendly shelter options often force families to make an impossible choice.

Paws Until Home provides a temporary, caring foster network so people can access safety and support while knowing their pets are protected until they can be reunited.

Core Values

Compassion. Safety. Dignity. Connection.

We believe every person and every pet deserves safety, care, and respect. Our work is guided by compassion, confidentiality, inclusion, and the belief that the bond between people and their animals should be protected during times of crisis.
