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.

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

Dottie
Dottie is a sweet mixed-breed girl weighing about 40 pounds. She’s house trained, crate trained, and working hard on her manners.
Dottie is wonderful with kids and cats! She can be selective with her dog friends and needs slow, proper introductions with both people and other dogs. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet personality shines through.

Bippity
Bippity is a 6 month old sweetheart whose favorite thing in the world is being close to her people. She actively seeks affection, happily curls up beside you, and rewards attention with a loud, contented purr. If there is an available lap, Bippity is likely already on her way to claim it.
She has a loving, gentle personality that makes her an instant favorite. While she enjoys kitten playtime and fun with her siblings, her true talent is making people feel adored. Bippity is the kind of kitten who turns an ordinary evening into a cozy one simply by curling up next to you.

Dozer
Meet Dozer, a hound mix with big, fat paws, an even bigger head, and irresistible wrinkles that will make you smile! 🐾❤️
Life hasn't always been easy for this sweet boy. Before coming into rescue, he spent much of his time outdoors without many of the comforts most dogs take for granted. He has a few scars that tell the story of his past, but he's ready to leave those days behind and enjoy the good life!

Jasmine
Meet Jasmine! If you were to look up the definition of personality, her picture would be right there.
Jasmine's favorite things are to play, play more, and then play again. She loves to climb her cat tree, chase toys, and interact with her foster family. She has more personality in her tail than most kittens have in their whole bodies! Her foster mom calls her a little firecracker—and while Jasmine isn't quite sure what that means, it is always said with a lot of affection, and she always manages to make everyone laugh. Plus, she is great with kids, other cats, and dogs, making her truly the whole package!
