Our Objective: Educating the public is very important to Precious Paws. We will campaign tirelessly to inform the public about the importance of responsible animal guardianship. By informing the public about the necessity for responsible animal care and the importance of spay and neuter we help solve the problem of homeless animals. The number of unwanted animals due to overpopulation is intolerable and heartbreaking. By ensuring that animals are spayed and neutered, we can help to alleviate this overpopulation. Informing the public about the positive effects of spaying and neutering will help to educate them about this important matter. Every time we are working with the public we provide this service. We also provide them with reference materials about how to take care of their animals (i.e. information on spay/neuter, vaccinations, care of your newly-adopted cat or dog, feline and canine diseases, etc.).
When funds do permit, we will provide assistance for individuals who cannot afford proper veterinary care for their animals. This helps to keep the animal with the individual and to alleviate any unnecessary suffering for the animal. It also will help provide spay and neuter to people who may not be able to afford this service and therefore will prevent unwanted puppies and kittens from being born when they are not wanted. Funds will also be dispersed to offset trap/neuter/release efforts and expenses relating to the overpopulation of feral cats in the surrounding communities. Precious Paws ultimate goal is to establish a sanctuary to house orphaned cats and dogs until they can be placed in permanent, loving homes and a forever home for those dogs and cats that have special medical needs and/ or are not adoptable.

Our Primary Consideration in ALL Pet Placement Decisions is the PET !
Most of our pets have had a hard life and many have special needs (such as food, attention, time, training, security, etc.).

After this considerable investment, it is understandable that we really try hard for a good “fit”.

Remembering the First Lady of Star Trek, Majel Barrett Roddenberry: Submitted by admin on Friday, 19 December 2008 - All of us with Precious Paws are deeply saddened to have lost a friend and supporter. Majel, you will be missed!
Today I learned that Majel Barrett Roddenberry, better known as the “First Lady of Star Trek” and Nurse Chappel in the Star Trek original series, as well as the computer voice and Lwaxana Troi in Star Trek: The New Generation, has passed away.
When I was younger, I had the pleasure of meeting Majel. My father worked in the hotel business, and was able to arrange the meeting after the airport had lost her luggage, and we agreed to help her, if she would be kind enough to meet me, at age 14. She was very sweet and very kind, almost grandmotherly. I drew a poster photo of her and she was so kind and seemed to really appreciate it. She asked if we were coming to the Star Trek convention later, but because of my father’s work schedule, we didn’t get to go. If there is one regret I have this morning, is I didn’t get to thank her all these years later for making such a positive impression on me in her hotel room.
Majel was a huge supporter of animal non-profits and advocacy such as Precious Paws, http://www.preciouspaws.org
