| Other | PART III STATEMANT OF PROGRAM SERVICES ACCOMPLISHMENTS; LINE 28: Paws for Seniors is an all volunteer foster based animal rescue organization that rescues homeless cats and dogs, addresses their medical and psychological needs and rehomes them to qualified applicants. The animals we rescue are predominately senior cats and dogs ages 7 or older; we sometimes take in younger pets depending on the situation. Approximately 85% of the people that adopt from us are senior citizens. Senior pets are the hardest to find homes for and are usually overlooked in shelters. Our "Intake" process consists of addressing the pet's medical needs, most needing dental care,vaccinations, and other surgeries such as spay/neuter, bladder stone & mass removals, joint/knee repair, etc; we also run a blood analysis during intake. |
| Other | In 2015 we cared for 236 cats and dogs, facilitated 181 adoptions and had to make the hard "end-of-life" medical decision for 8 pets. |
| Other | Since 2012 we have found homes for over 600 pets; most would not be with us today. By the good grace of our community and their support, we have been able to sustain our mission without going into debt and have maintained a high quality of life for the animals while they are awaiting adoption. We are foster based and foster families are our most valuable resource. |
| Other | We also visit Senior Assisted Living facilities and Senior Medical Rehabilitation Centers, every-other-week, bringing out a select few of the senior pets for a visit; it brings companionship to the senior citizens and it helps to acclimate the pet to a normal social life once again. |
| Other | In 2015 we held a fashion show at a senior assisted living facility in Manassas, VA, with 20+ dogs and 2 cats who love to walk on leash. The fashion show theme was the "Four Seasons" 30+ volunteers, including Jr. Volunteers, dressed the pets and walked them down the runway. Approximately 100 Senior residents attended. It was such a big success that we have been invited to do it again in 2016. |
| Other | We held approximately 95 adoption events, one major fund raiser called Paint Night, and attended the local county fair for a 4 day span. |
| Other | We also hosted 5 "Pictures with Santa" sessions at our adoption events during the Christmas Holidays. |
| Other | In 2016 our goal is to expand our foster family network, in order to rescue more pets. We are always concious of maintaining a high quality of life for the pets in our care and that the driving factors are: available foster homes and the dollars to support the animals while they are in our care. |
