Angels with Paws in collaboration with Younited Financial Company, are dedicated to preventing animals from ending up in shelters with low adoption rates or being abandoned. Our mission includes rescuing, rehabilitating, spaying/neutering, and finding loving homes, ensuring their well-being and humane treatment. Additionally, our goal is to educate communities about responsible pet ownership. We emphasize the importance of adopting pets responsibly, understanding the long-term commitment, and providing proper care. By raising awareness and offering educational resources, we aim to reduce the number of abandoned and surrendered pets and promote a culture of compassion and responsibility towards animals. Together, we strive to provide these animals with the love and respect they deserve.
Spay/Neuter is the only proven sustainable, and humane method of reducing the stray animal population.
We need solutions urgently. If this rapid increase continues, we will soon face a shortage of homes and shelters for these animals, leading to even greater suffering for them. Spaying and neutering are crucial for saving lives because they prevent the overpopulation of pets, which can lead to thousands of animals being abandoned, surrendered, or euthanized each year. Controlling the number of unwanted litters helps reduce the strain on animal shelters and rescues, ensuring that resources can be focused on providing care and finding homes for animals in need.
Our mission is to spay/neuter and vaccinate of thousands of stray dogs and cats to prevent unwanted puppies and kittens from being born into short lives of suffering. Spay/neuter is the only proven, sustainable, and humane method of reducing the stray animal population.
