Mission: No Paw Left Behind is a 501c3 nonprofit organization comprised of an all-volunteer team of pet rehabilitation specialists. All pets are housed in foster homes, affording us the greatest possible opportunity to provide individualized care and get to know our pets' personalities. This information helps us create customized rehabilitation programs and match the pets with the best possible forever homes. We accept dogs, cats, birds and small companion pets, regardless of breed, age, size, type or special need. If we have the resources to provide for the pet, they are welcomed into our program.

Results: At the end of 2015, we have proudly rescued, rehabilitated and placed close to 4000 dogs, cats, birds and small companion pets. Our #nopawalumni include survivors from a life on the streets, from high kill shelters, being hit by cars, sick with parvo and distemper, abandonment in the Everglades, from high profile criminal cruelty cases, and many more unfortunate situations which left them in need.
