may 2018: yet another amazing rescue - in conjunction with fuerza publica

​When the Fuerza Publica came across this momma and her 2 pups in Cerros` they knew they had to act. Momma was starving and all 3 dogs were riddled with fleas and worms that had buried deep into the dogs' skin.  

Coordinating with PAWS the pups were brought to the fabulous veterinary care of Leti Martinez in Quepos. After a through exam, the dogs were treated for their wounds and given anti-parasite medications.

Once they were stable enough to be moved, the momma and her pups were moved to a PAWS foster home where they are given on going love and care and continue to thrive. The picture on the left was taken a few days ago and shows the pups looking healthier and fatter and healing well.

Look at the love between these two!

We will be looking for homes for these cute little guys in the next 4-6 weeks. 

so many forever homes thanks to paws!

Rehabilitation

Most animals entering PAWS care were living in terrible conditions on the streets or with irresponsible owners. Our animals arrive starving, flea infested, full of parasites & often require serious medical attention - as well as lots of love before they are healthy enough to be adopted.
​
Paws successfully adopts around 25 dogs & cats each month!

Castration

The first step towards improving the conditions for dogs & cats is to reduce the number of animals in need.

All of our paws animals spayed and neutered before adoption. 
We work with the community & local vets to make castration more affordable & accessible. We organize & fund castration campaigns in remote areas & run a trap and release program to castrate feral cats.
We often visit the local schools to teach pet care & the importance of spay and neutering

Paws castrates around 100 dog and cats each month!
