Our Mission

## Rescue, Rehabilitate, Rehome

Founded in 2012, Paws & Purpose operates on a simple belief: adoption isn't just about finding a pet, it's about finding family. We partner with municipal shelters and private rescues to take in animals that need extra time, specialized care, or behavioral assessment before they're ready for their forever homes.

Our team of veterinary technicians, behaviorists, and matchmakers spend weeks building trust with each animal. We don't rush. We ensure every placement aligns with the lifestyle, energy, and patience of the adopting household.

2,400+ Animals Rehomed
98% Placement Success
12 Years of Service

"We don't place pets. We place family members. Every match is a lifelong commitment to both sides."

— Elena Rios, Director of Adoptions

Success Stories

## Families Transformed

Adoption changes more than just an animal's life. It reshapes daily routines, builds empathy, and creates bonds that last generations. Here is what our adopters have to say.

> "We adopted Barnaby during a difficult year. His calm presence literally slowed our household down. The staff's guidance on transitioning him from shelter life to ours was invaluable."

> "I never expected to bond so deeply with a rescue cat. Luna walked into my apartment and immediately found her favorite sunbeam. Paws & Purpose matched us perfectly."
