learn about fostering with us

The Paws & People Initiative is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was started with one goal in mind: to keep pets with their people. The work is hard and the road is long, but the more people join us, the easier it gets.

We’re so glad you’re here.

Welcome to our community!
