From LOVEPAWS

LOVEPAWS es un programa comunitario 501(c)3 de alcance comunitario y prevención de la ingestión de animales que ayuda a las mascotas y a sus dueños en el área metropolitana de Washington D. C. y sus alrededores, con especial atención a los dueños de mascotas de bajos recursos del condado de Prince George. Atendemos a las mascotas tanto en la comunidad como en el refugio del condado con una doble misión. La primera parte de nuestra misión es ayudar a los dueños de mascotas en el condado de Prince George y el área metropolitana de Washington D. C. a mantener a sus mascotas en sus hogares y fuera del refugio. Logramos esto ofreciendo diversos tipos de asistencia, incluyendo, entre otros, alimento gratuito para mascotas a través de nuestro banco de alimentos en todo el condado y otros tipos de asistencia, como ayuda con las facturas veterinarias. La segunda parte de nuestra misión es promover la adopción y el rescate de animales en el refugio, especialmente de perros tipo pitbull considerados ilegales en el condado y otros animales en riesgo, para ayudar a reducir las tasas de eutanasia.

How is your community doing when it comes to lifesaving? 

Our partners support each other and inspire their own communities to increase lifesaving of dogs and cats across the country.

Adopt a pet

When you adopt a homeless dog or cat you’re saving the life of a loving and loyal animal. You’re also making space for other pets to find families of their own.

Foster a pet

Fostering a pet is a short-term commitment with long-term impact. By opening your home to a dog or cat for even a few days, you can save lives.
