Grateful Paws Dog & Cat Rescue

Grateful Paws Dog & Cat Rescue, Inc. was founded in January 2006 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and relocated to Central Florida in 2021. We are a No-kill, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. Since we are a no-kill rescue, we are often subjected to more than just the basic care of an animal. Our Vet services are not free. We often (but not often enough) receive discounted vet care. But even so the bills add up especially when one of our rescues needs a lot of extra care. We are comprised ENTIRELY of volunteers with full-time careers and families. We do the rescue stuff (which is our true passion) after work and on the weekends. So if your phone calls or emails are not answered by a live person right away --- it's probably because we are at work and will call you when we get home.

Meet BRIE

 ***LOCATED IN HOWEY IN THE HILLS, FL*** Meet Brie- INSTANT COMPANION!   This baby girl was "DUMPED" - a Good Sam found her in the woods, in deplorable condition and took her to his vet for a bath, a microchip-check and an overall check-up.  She was chipped but the contact info was obsolete, and records reflected this same family as having dumped another dog. Brie has a sweet temperament - is gentle, loves toys - has the heart and activity level of a 4-year old, but the Vet is guessing her to be around 7-8 years old.  She is a Boxer/Terrier mix, and weighs about 55 lbs.  She is in a temporary foster home with several cats - (confined because of the cats) and a couple other dogs who are not accepting of her, so we are anxious to get her into a new home - SOON.     She get along well with calmer dogs - but NO CATS!  Not sure about kids.   Her foster folks do not want to turn her in to a shelter for fear she will be euthanized - so we offered to help re-home her. Seems the shelters in Central FL are all maxed out.   She is happy, healthy, up to date on all vaccines - spayed & chipped.     Her adoption fee will be $150.  She will come to you fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed and chipped.   If you are interested, please download an application from:  www.gratefulpaws.org or email [email protected] for one.   NOTE: Adoption/rehoming fees are applied towards the vet bill: exam, blood tests, vaccinations, fecal, worming, spay/neuter, dental if necessary, and a microchip. There is rarely anything left over, but if that happens, the monies get applied to the next or previous pet - who may have had to have an x-ray, be groomed or have a dental.

Adoption Process
We are of the belief that there is a perfect home for every homeless pet. We just need the time to find it. Most of the animals in our care have been rescued, so we ensure their new homes will be better than the last. We ask every potential adoptee to complete an adoption application. The board reviews each application and the best home for the pet will be chosen. We arrange for a home visit; use a legal and binding adoption contract and charge an adoption fee that is applied towards the vet bill and care of the pet. In most cases the adoption fee does not cover our out -of-pocket costs so we rely upon the help of many to place the animal in its final home.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
