Special Paws Animal Rescue
One Special Paw At A Time
About
SPAR is an all volunteer local animal rescue group emphasizing in special needs cases, including but not limited to all other animals in-need of rescue from the community, off the street and from local area shelters.
SPAR was inspired by a group of people who met while volunteering with other rescues and became friends, and shared the same goals and passion for rescue and decided to come together to form a project of their own.
SPAR is a 501c3 tax exempt organization.
Special Paws Mission: Our Mission is to help the community and give each "Special Paw" the love, compassion, and rehabilitation they need, while giving them a new start and their best chance at life, providing Veterinary care and spay/neuter services, and adopting them to a loving home.

FOSTER
Are you interested in Fostering for Special Paws Animal Rescue?
Do you have experience with animals? Do you have spare room in your home and your heart? Fostering is a crucial part to any animal rescue. SPAR is an all foster based rescue which means all of our animals are raised in loving homes with temporary families while they make weight, or get well enough to be adopted out. It also helps us to assess their personalities to make sure they find their perfect home.
If you're interested in fostering a dog or puppy for us please fill out a DOG FOSTER APPLICATION.
If you're interested in fostering a cat or kittens for us please fill out a CAT FOSTER APPLICATION.
Thank you for your interest in fostering for SPAR. Please give us some time to review your application as we are all volunteers and someone should contact you soon!
