Welcome to our pet rescue paradise!

Once upon a time in a land filled with wagging tails and curious whiskers, we decided to embark on a mission: finding furry pals their forever homes!

At Paws of the Pines Rescue, our aim is to save as many animals as we can. Established in September 2022, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. Our team is deeply dedicated to the welfare of pets, especially those often overlooked—such as shy and misunderstood animals, abandoned puppies, and senior dogs. Our goal is to provide these dogs with the opportunity to thrive in a caring environment, something they may not have had in a shelter.

We have helped over 200 animals find their furever homes.
