More about the shelter
Paws 4 You Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer, donor-supported animal rescue organization based in Miami, Florida. Our top priority is to save animals from euthanasia at Miami-Dade Animal Services. On average 100 animals are euthanized every day at this county shelter!
Rescued animals vary from being sick, injured, homeless and surrendered to simply lost. We give these animals a safe environment, professional medical care, hope and lots of love. Our animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and ID micro-chipped. Some require major surgery from a specialist to repair broken limbs while others may need additional rehabilitation time and specific medical care - ranging from bordetella (kennel cough) and skin infections to cherry eye and heartworm treatments.
All benefit physically and emotionally from a new loving family to call his or her own.
Once Paws 4 You Rescue commits to helping an animal, we seek the best quality treatment available - taking no shortcuts. Our dogs stay at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities and foster homes until they find their forever homes. We spend time taking our new friends to different events across South Florida to find suitable homes. Our team is compassionate and passionate in reaching these goals. We are a group of professional people with various backgrounds, who together have decided to commit to saving as many of these animals as possible.
Additionally, we believe in the value of education pertaining to the importance of spaying and neutering. Pet overpopulation is a serious problem in our county and by sterilizing your pet, you help
to relieve the strain on Miami-Dade Animal Services and our community.
Use a pre-application to screen potential families, do vet checks and home visits after phone interview. Interview process at time of meeting the dog. Ask for a $250-$325 donation with every adoption. Each dog is microchipped, heartworm negative, spay or neutered and current with all vaccines.
About Peanut
Distance: 1,450 Miles
Hi, my name is Peanut, I am approximately 4 years old and weigh 47 pounds. I am a very shy but sweet boy who takes some time to warm up to people. Once I know you, I am very loving and love to cuddle! I’m naturally timid and would do best in a calm home with humans who can help me build confidence. The ideal home for me would be one with adults only or kids over 16+ who understand my scaredy-cat tendencies. I am playful and love to play with toys, humans, and my dog friends. I get along best with medium size, low-medium energy dogs that are mellow. Please give me a chance. I’ve been waiting for my furever home for over one year! Adopt me!
