Grateful Paws Dog & Cat Rescue rescues neglected, surrendered, abandoned and abused animals in South Florida.

Unfortunately, our medical bills and supplies (even though discounted…) are not free and we need to continue to raise money to continue our work.

To save a life or a relationship, we’ve arranged for open heart surgeries, amputations, successful treatment for parvo, cherry eye, eye removal, broken bones, fractured hips, crushed pelvises, hip surgery – you name it. We’ve done it and have spayed, neutered and micro-chipped every animal that has crossed our path!

Winnie, beaten and shoved down a drain – the crushed leg had to be amputated. Success – adopted and living happily in Plantation.

Emma, a 2 month old Shih-Tzu, diagnosed with parvo – Success –adopted and is living in New York!

Gus, a 4 lb. T-cup Chihuahua, about 11 years old - dumped & found wandering the streets. Adopted: We did a complete senior profile, a major dental, a neuter and is now living happily in Victoria Park.

Millie, a 5 month old Wheaton Terrier, diagnosed with a defective heart valve – successful surgery – adopted and now living happily in her new home.

The list goes on and on and is too numerous to mention…

And through fundraising events, donations from people who believe in what we do---, yard sales and bake sales, we have always managed to cover the vet bills. But… our debt is pretty steep right now and our ability to help the next animal depends on us being able to help the ones we have in our care right now.

We have a couple fundraising events in the hopper - (Save the date for Saturday, October 23^rd – Central Bark Doggy Day Care – it’s our 2^nd Annual Howl-o-ween Pet Costume Party)- this & other events will be posted on the main page of our website. www.gratefulpaws.org
