Our Mission

Educating and broadening the community’s awareness of cruelty toward animals and further promoting adoption of animals to avoid unnecessary euthanasia of pets is our primary goal.

Developing educational programs on prevention of cruelty to animals by way of fund raising, festivals and pet food drive.

Forming partnerships and links with “No Kill Shelters”, “Wounded Veterans”, First Responders, Law Enforcement Officers, Military Warriors, 911 Victims and Pets For Vets, to actively provide assistance in pairing service animals with the needs of the individual whether this is by way of active duty or support.

About Us

“The Paws-N-Claws Foundation”, is a non-profit organization. Our mission is to promote pet adoption and reduce pet euthanasia.

Our fundraising efforts to-date have saved the lives of many beautiful puppies and adult dogs. All of whom now have new families.

The Sandi Paws Pet & People Parade, is a fun filled day for families and pets which will include music, food, pet vendors, a pet parade, doggie fashion show, and much more. Thousands of people and hundreds of dogs are expected to attend.

This year’s event will be a “Virtual Event” still in celebration honoring and remembering our 9/11 Patriots, Wounded Warriors, Purple Heart, Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion members, as well as our Armed Forces, Fire Fighters, and Law Enforcement.
