aboutus
716 Paws is a volunteer-based animal rescue group founded to facilitate the placement of animals into their best-matched forever home. We work with shelters both locally and nationally to find homes for dogs in need. Our goal is to reduce the overall euthanasia rate among canines and to give both dog and human alike a forever companion.
Transitioning to life with a new dog can be challenging for an owner, and in the same respect, transitioning to a new home can be challenging for an animal. This is why 716 Paws offers programs for adoption-adaptation. We work tirelessly to make sure that each dog’s new home is their forever home.
We believe all animals deserve the opportunity to be loved. We embrace who they are,
its our goal to improve their future, and change the world.
