Pause for Paws, Inc. (Street Dog Rescue) Official Page for Pause for Paws, Inc. We are a 501(c)(3) all volunteer, foster-home based rescue in

We are an all volunteer group of animal lovers that work non-stop to rescue unwanted and abandoned pets. We mostly take in strays or abandoned animals in and around the greater San Antonio area. All animals we take in live in foster homes or depending on the severity of their conditions at our partnered vet clinic. We provide all our dogs with any and all health care they may need, along with comfortable safe foster homes, and food needs. We survive solely on donations and the help of our volunteers. The more dogs we can take in means the less that will end up roaming the streets, with ACS, or being euthanized.

❤️🐾 55 DONORS. $7,656 RAISED. AND WE’RE NOT DONE YET!

We seriously cannot say THANK YOU enough.

This week, 55 incredible donors showed up for Pause for Paws and helped raise $7,656 through The Big Give! ❤️
Whether you gave $10, $25, $50, $100, $1,000, or simply shared our posts and helped us reach more people, YOU were part of this. Every donation adds up to food, veterinary care, preventatives, supplies, foster support, and another opportunity for us to say YES when a dog needs help.

We wanted to make sure the people who helped make this possible were actually recognized, so today’s post is for YOU. To every named donor, every anonymous donor, everyone who donated in honor or memory of someone special, and everyone who supported us throughout Big Give week:
THANK YOU. ❤️

And guess what?
🚨 THE BIG GIVE ISN’T OVER YET! 🚨

Donations are still open through tonight, so there is still time to add your name to this incredible group and help us push that $7,656 even higher! 🐾

Let’s see what we can do before the clock runs out tonight.

🕯️🐾 CINNAMON’S STORY IS WHY WE KEEP GOING. 🐾🕯️
Cinnamon and Sugar came to Pause for Paws as two little strays who needed help.
Sadly, Cinnamon passed away. Her autopsy appeared to point to Chagas disease, while Sugar survived. 💔
Rescue doesn't always give us the ending we desperately want.
But every dog deserves someone willing to try. Every dog deserves care, safety, and someone fighting for them.
That is why we Give Big. ❤️
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated, shared our stories, and supported Pause for Paws. But we're not done yet.
🐾 THE BIG GIVE DONATION PAGE IS STILL ACCEPTING DONATIONS!
If you haven't had a chance to give, you can still help us continue saying YES to dogs who need us.
❤️ GIVE IN CINNAMON'S MEMORY. HELP US SAVE THE NEXT ONE.

For Cinnamon. For Sugar. For the next dog who needs us. 🐾

💔🐾 HE WAS LEFT TIED TO A STOP SIGN. 🐾💔
Meet Jeffrey.
Jeffrey was found tied to a stop sign with a handwritten note, left behind and waiting for someone to help him.
Thankfully, being abandoned wasn't where Jeffrey's story ended. ❤️
This is why we Give Big.
Your support helps Pause for Paws step in for dogs like Jeffrey and give them the safety, care, and second chance they deserve.
And to everyone who has already donated, shared, and supported us during Big Give: THANK YOU.
You've already helped make a difference.
But we're not finished yet!
