Current Goal: Sanctuary Development
Real change happens when care, commitment, and community come together in service of those who cannot speak for themselves. Pause Animal Wellness Sanctuary (PAWS) was founded to rescue animals from uncertain futures and provide an environment that truly supports their nervous systems and long-term well-being.
We are now working toward a permanent home, a space that will allow us to care for hundreds of animals over time. To move forward, we need your help to secure the foundational resources required to sustain this vision with integrity.
Your donation helps support the initial phase of these critical development costs:
Property & Legal
Initial Property Down Payment
Legal Counsel for Acquisition
Startup Accounting
Compliance
Initial Site Improvements
Licensing & Insurance
Basic Equipment
Animal Care
Rescue & Transfer to site
Daily Care for Residents
Emergency Fund
Ongoing Operations
First months of Utilities & Facility Bills
Core Software & Technology Services
Marketing & Outreach
This fundraising goal helps us provide financial support for some of these costs, and allows us to expand our current operations and make a greater impact. The vision for PAWS is so much larger! We are actively seeking philanthropists, angel investors, strategic partners, and additional grants to support these costs (and others) beyond this phase and help create a truly sustainable sanctuary for animals and the humans who care for them.
Hearts Behind the Mission
Every donation brings us one step closer to providing hundreds of animals just like these with the permanent, peaceful sanctuary they deserve.
