Operation Paws for Homes
We're More Than a Rescue.
We’re creating a better world for companion animals and the communities they call home.
From rescue and rehabilitation to spay/neuter, humane learning opportunities, and community support, we’re building lifesaving solutions that make a difference, one animal, one family, and one community at a time.

Dogs Rescued
336
Cats Rescued
We believe every animal deserves a second chance, and in 2025, our community made more than 1,300 of them possible.
Powered by dedicated fosters, volunteers, adopters, and donors Operation Paws not only rescued animals but invested in solutions that make lifesaving possible beyond rescue. Together, we’re not just saving animals. We’re changing lives, strengthening communities, and creating a more humane future.

Featured Fosters
Badger
Badger is a beautiful 2-year-old black and white girl who has finished raising her five kittens and is ready to be pampered! This sweet, affectionate girl loves lap time, pets, and chatting with her adorable little meow, especially when food is involved. Gentle and easygoing, Badger is ready to trade motherhood for a loving home where she can soak up all the attention she deserves.
Flossy
Flossy is a gentle 7-year-old former breeding mom who is slowly learning that people can be kind, safe, and worthy of her trust. She needs a quiet, patient home with an experienced adopter, a secure fenced yard, and ideally a confident canine companion who can help her continue discovering the love and comfort she has always deserved.
Athena
Athena is a stunning 1-year-old cat who is confident, social, and incredibly affectionate, even enjoying belly rubs and attention from children. After raising her kittens, she’s ready for a home of her own where she can enjoy people, snuggle with canine friends, and finally be the pampered star of the show.
