Pepsi
Hannah & Brooklyn
Pepsi
Pepsi is a feral cat who lives underneath an abandoned home where he depends on neighbors to get fed. Today Pepsi is no longer considered a feral cat as he comes on a regular basis to be fed and pet. Members of the Women for Paws team feed him at least twice a day.
Hope

Pepsi
Hope was only 3 1/2 weeks when she was rescued from underneath a neighbor's trash bin. It took hours before we could identify where the crying was coming from. We found her stuck and couldn't get out, but because her meows were so loud, we were able to find her. Hope was was adopted by a wonderful family that has another cat.

Kitty

Brooklyn
Kitty was a neighborhood cat that was fed by a family that moved away. It took a while to get this cat to come to us, but slowly she started to trust us. We rescued her by providing a suitable outdoor home. She is now vaccinated and is fed at least three times a day. Kitty now acts as if she owns our home.

Brooklyn was rescued from underneath a car after running away from a German Sheppard. He was then brought inside to be cleaned to later be placed in a small chicken crate tied with a rope around his neck so that he couldn't escape. After several attempts in posting flyers about this lost dog, no one responded. A few months later, Brooklyn was rescued by the founder of Women for Paws when he was six months. Brooklyn has since passed, but he remains a big part of this organization as the Founding Paw.

Coco is a Yorkshire Terrier who is six years old. Coco developed a case of bronchitis and his treatments were intense because he was also diagnosed with pancreatitis and peritonitis. Additionally ultrasound showed that he had a mass that needed treatment and possible surgery. He became so ill that he was being fed through a tube. Coco's family was faced with a $6,000 pet bill and they started a fundraiser. When we learned about this case, we immediately responded by providing financial support to pay for a small portion of their pet bill. Coco is slowly recovering and is now eating on his own.

This was one of the saddest stories that we had to deal with. Megan and Picasso's human paw mother died of old age leaving them behind in a home in Westchester.

This was one of the saddest stories that we had to deal with. Megan and Picasso's human paw mother died of old age leaving them behind in a home in Westchester. They stayed at the home for months even after all the furniture was removed. They were traumatized and angry because they did not know what was happening. The niece of the deceased took care of them as much as she could. Other neighbors also helped in feeding the cats and changing the litter boxes. They were in distress and lonely. Women for Paws learned about these two cats and took action in fostering them for one month until finding a permanent home. The most difficult part about this rescue was the fact that we wanted to keep the two siblings together. We felt that they needed each other after their world felt apart when their human mother died.
Cocoa
Megan & Picasso
Abandoned Puppy
Cocoa's human mother reached out to us because she needed financial assistance to board her. This is a sad story about a survivor of domestic violence who was frequently threatened by partner to hurt the family pet. Therefore, Cocoa had to be removed from the premises to avoid further violence against her. We were able to provide financial support to safely pay for one month boarding.
Abandoned Puppy
Family of Chihuahuas

This Chihuahua puppy was abandoned and was almost taken to a shelter with his parents and siblings The family that had him planned to leave the country without making arrangements for fostering or giving him away.

Family leaving the country with little effort in finding homes for these dogs. With a new litter and no time to take them anywhere other than a shelter, Women for Paws quickly acted in creating social media posts and communication throughout the community to find homes for these dogs. Within four hours, we were able to find them forever homes. It was a difficult rescue because most people called to only adopt the puppy, but we were firm in having them all adopted to only one family so that they could stay together.
Isys
Family of Chihuahuas
Family of Chihuahuas
Isys is a 9 year old mix breed that we were able to assist financially for an emergency surgery. The human father was struggling financially because the surgery was $2,500. Although we were not able to pay for the entire surgery, we were able to guide the pet owner in utilizing other resources. Isys is back home and happy to be back with her human father and siblings.

My name is Hope, and I was rescued by Grace from Women for Paws. I was stuck underneath a garbage bin. I had ringworm and my paws had sores. The beginning of my life was not very good, but Women for Paws found me a human parent to adopt me. I now live in a loving home.
The mission of Women For Paws is to provide financial support to pet owners who are struggling financially and cannot pay for their pet's medical emergencies, surgeries, treatments, medicines, neutering, vaccines, and food. Although they are not a rescue organization, they rescued me and paid for all my medical treatments to be ready for adoption. Please consider donating to this organization so that more pets are impacted by their efforts.
