Women for Paws: Helping Pet Owners
The pet owners we assist best convey our story by sharing our passion for saving a pet's life and our commitment to providing for paws in need.
We are committed to saving the family pet
Our Team
Our organization is composed of only volunteers that drive our mission in making sure that the family pet does not end up in a shelter due to unforeseen circumstances including the pet owner suffering from a temporary illness or financial hardship. We are a 501(c)(3) org. We provide financial support to pet owners who are struggling financially to pay for their family pet's medical emergencies. Our goal is to prevent pets from ending in a shelter because the pet owner does not have the financial resources for their care. We are dedicated to pet retention and animal welfare.
Our Story
Our organization was founded by Grace C. Lopez because of her passion for animals and their well-being. She believes that dogs and cats deserve to live a happy and healthy life with their human family. Our founder witnessed while volunteering at a cancer non-profit organization the traumatic experiences that individuals suffered by having to give up their pets due to an illness or financial hardship. While Grace was volunteering, she noticed that many women could not care for their pets while undergoing medical treatment and faced financial and emotional hardship during the medical recovery period. Many women battling illnesses do not have the means to pay for the care of their pet during treatment and, therefore, have to give up their pet to a shelter. Not being able to reunite with one's pet can cause guilt and loneliness which can lead to depression after recovery. Therefore, she felt that there was a need to create an organization like Women for Paws in order to provide financial support to pet owners and their pets while their owner recovers from their hardship. Women for Paws is committed to helping by providing financial and other resources to prevent your pet from ending up in a shelter. We are a 501(c)(3) organization that supports women who are battling medical treatment or going through a financial hardship.
Our Mission
Women for Paws' mission is to provide financial support to pet owners that are struggling financially and cannot pay for their family pet's medical emergencies, surgeries, treatments, medicine, neutering, vaccines, temporary boarding, and food. We believe that pets are part of our families, and they should not be taken to a shelter because their families do not have the resources to care for them. Our organization is dedicated to pet retention and animal welfare.
