South Paw

Save-A-Pet South Paw has three main objectives:

• Provide safe removal of companion animals out of high kill shelters and adoption into loving homes.

• Accomplish reduction in the number of unwanted pets through routine spay and neuter clinics.

• Work to improve treatment of animals through education of adults and youth.

In many southern states, there are few laws to protect companion animals who silently cry out for help. Sadly, they are rarely heard. They are abandoned, neglected and abused, and with shelters continuously overflowing with unwanted animals, innocent lives are extinguished at an alarming high rate. Their voices forever silenced.

In areas where Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) is active, the fate is immediately sealed for dogs whose only crime is being or resembling a breed that is judged as a whole, based on an unfair bias, as opposed individuality. Once in a shelter, these dogs stand no chance for a tomorrow, unless a rescue steps up.

Save-A-Pet South Paw is working in the southern states to help change the current course and provide new, positive direction in saving animals through partnerships with area rescues and shelters to get dogs out of high-kill shelters and into loving homes.

To combat the heavy pet overpopulation in these areas, where funding and resources are lacking, we are working to implement spay/neuter services to prevent more unwanted animals and providing education on responsible pet ownership. Through this education, we will be speaking with owners, and as well as bringing the message to class rooms, to promote responsible pet ownership , and to teach the youth of today how to be the voice for animals tomorrow.

At Save-A-Pet USA, “Compassion is our Compass” Here are just a couple of the thousands of dogs we have saved through this program

Layla

Pictured below on the left: 10 years old, pregnant and surrendered to a kill shelter in North Carolina, Layla had no way out of the county where her breed was banned (BSL). After years of neglect, her betrayal was complete.  However, with but a few hours to spare, we had Layla on transport to New York.  Due to her poor health, her puppies didn’t survive, but we got her healthy, treated for heart worm and today, Layla is living the life of a much-loved queen.

Mott

From Rags to Riches. We rescued this little raggedy motley Mott (pictured below in the middle) from Texas and brought him to New York where he is now living a very happy ever after!

Louisiana Puppies

Slated to die in Louisiana — several orphaned puppies and older, neglected dogs, they all escaped the end and left on transport in the nick of time. All were medically treated and now know what it means to be loved and cared for.
