Rescue is expensive! Thank you for being understanding about why adoption fees exist!
​Without them, we wouldn't be able to sve the next baby in need!

-Please Note-

-Most cats (the exception being barn cats) are indoor only.
-Most dogs will require a yard and/or daily exercise, no exceptions.

-We are dedicated to finding the right home for each pet, so adoptions are NOT "first come first serve". 
-Playful Paws Animal Rescue reserves the right to refuse ANY application at ANY time. 

We proudly support the LGBTQ+ community! 🏳‍🌈
It's come to our attention that many people in the LGBTQ+ community are afraid to tell us that they are a couple, or that they prefer "they/them" pronouns, etc, because they are afraid of backlash or disqualification. We want this amazing community to know that we do not discriminate and we are fully supportive. Please be open and honest with us (if that's what you wish), because we don't want you to feel uncomfortable if you don't have to be! Playful Paws has LGBTQ+ staff.

We support those with neurodiversities and mental health conditions 🧠
Trying to find the right baby for you is stressful enough. We want to help figure out the best fit for you! Tell us your wants and needs so that you can bring your new baby home feeling good, and we can give you advice on what to do when you get home to prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed. Playful Paws has neurodiverse staff with Autism and ADHD, and staff with mental health conditions such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, etc! It's okay to not be okay.

​We Are Dedicated to Helping Homeless Pets!
