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.

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 

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.  

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 foreve

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.
