Pawtastic Friends: Enrichment for Second Chances

Pawtastic Friends carries a mission that's as simple as it is profound - to make the world a better place for homeless animals. This private, non-profit organization relies on much need donations to support its efforts of improving the lives of homeless dogs through training programs that prepare them for their eventual furever homes in addition to providing enrichment while they wait. Michael, Mellissa, their volunteers, and trainers with unwavering commitment shine a light of hope into the lives of these loveable pups.

Pawtastic Friends started when Michael and Melissa started video-taping dogs at the shelters to try to find them homes and has grown into an incredible training facility, employing several trainers who are helping with about 50 homeless dogs from various rescues.

Pawtastic Friends was born with the earnest act of videotaping shelter dogs, in an effort to connect them with potential homes. Over time, this modest seed of compassion blossomed into something extraordinary – a remarkable training facility. Today, Pawtastic Friends stands as a testament to their dedication, employing a team of skilled trainers committed to the well-being of approximately 50 homeless dogs from a diverse range of rescues. Through their tireless efforts, Pawtastic Friends provides the guidance and care that lay the foundation for these dogs' transformation into cherished companions.

In the pursuit of saving lives and creating a stronger, more compassionate pet-loving community, Paw Partners Unleashed takes the lead. Their mission is clear and resolute - to support those who tirelessly dedicate their efforts to animal rescue and provide a helping hand to the community in times of need.

Paw Partners Unleashed extends its reach beyond rescues. Their Community Partner Program collaborates with local organizations to ensure that beloved pets need not be given up due to financial constraints, as they believe that every pet deserves a loving home, regardless of economic circumstances.

Education Outreach is another cornerstone of Paw Partners Unleashed. Through public events, group meetings, school visits, and educational materials, they provide valuable information on pet care and responsible pet ownership to the community, because a well-informed community is one where pets flourish.

Nadia, the stunning Akita Husky mix from last week's blog post played a role in the inspiration of Paw Partners Unleashed. President/Founder, Eileen Jones fostered a very ill Husky named Lacey and her puppies for a local rescue. The unfortunate passing of Lacey left her Husky/Akita mix pups orphaned at only three weeks of age. Learning firsthand the heartache and struggles rescues faced on a daily bases is what inspired the creation of an organization to provide support to rescues.
