PAWS San Diego is one-of-a-kind in the scope of safety net services provided for pet owners in need:

• PAWS’ In-Home service provides a monthly delivery of pet food, cat litter and other supplies to homebound seniors and chronically ill individuals, in addition to dog walking and funding for veterinary care.

• The PAWS Pantry serves more than 675 low-income and homeless pet families each month with supplemental food assistance and free pet supplies through our distribution sites around the county.

•Our veterinary vouchers provide life-saving funding for veterinary care for families facing financial hardship.

• PAWS' quarterly community pet events bring free pet services, including vaccinations, spay/neuter appointments, behavior and training support and more to underserved communities. Our most recent event brought these services to a safe parking lot for transitional homeless living in their cars.

• The PAWS office in Linda Vista serves as a hub five days per week for pet-related resources for pet owners in need who have nowhere else to go and are devastated at the thought of surrendering their pet.

So far this fiscal year, PAWS has provided...
• More than 1.4 million meals
• 2,592 in-home deliveries and 1,375 free dog walks for low-income, home bound pet owners
• 430 veterinary vouchers and more than $44,000 in veterinary funding
• 155,000 pounds of pet food to partner animal welfare and social service organizations
…and so much more!

It's the end of our fiscal year and I'm looking for some help raising funds to assist more people and animals in need. Whatever you give will help - every dollar makes a difference! The great news is that all donations made between now and June 27th will be matched thanks to awesome supporters. Your donation is fully tax deductible.

Please consider contributing to our Day of Giving efforts. I truly appreciate your support!
