Justice for Paws Animal Rescue

Get your tissues ready 🥹. Remember Nacho, who was facing euthanasia at the shelter back in December? Today, he officially found his perfect forever home.

Nacho truly hit the jackpot with Samus, Calvin, and their dog, Mika. From the first day of their foster-to-adopt period, they showed Nacho what patience, commitment, and love means.

We love you, Nacho, and we’re so excited to see you shine with your new family.

And a huge thank you to , who took a chance on Nacho when no one else would. Nacho wouldn’t be where he is today without you.

To our supporters who donated to Nacho’s fundraiser, we cannot thank you enough. Because of you, Nacho was saved from euthanasia and is thriving in his board & train. He is learning so much and making friends along the way.

We can’t wait to match this special guy with his forever home. He deserves the world.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Happy Holidays from Nacho and JFP 🎄❄️💕

Major update! We have a plan to save Nacho from euthanasia, but we need your help to make it happen. A local trainer has agreed to take Nacho for three weeks to help him work through his anxiety. While the trainer has graciously provided a rescue discount, we need your help to raise $2,100 for Nacho’s board & train.

Nacho deserves a second chance at life. This boy was surrendered by the only family he’s ever known, and we can’t let him down again. In the spirit of the holidays, please consider donating to Nacho. Even $5 makes a difference in allowing us to provide the care and attention Nacho needs.

From the bottom of our (and Nacho’s) hearts, thank you. ❤️

‼️Calling in reinforcements‼️ Please help us save Nacho. This loving boy was surrendered to the shelter where he is terrified and risks euthanasia. Nacho is a 3-year-old loyal companion who would thrive in an active but patient home without kids. We’re waiving adoption fees and will contribute to a training fund.

🚨 Urgent: Help Save Otto! 🐾

At Justice for Paws, we believe rescue isn’t just about adoption—it’s about keeping families together. Otto, a loving 7-year-old lab mix, needs emergency surgery to remove a foreign object. His family is facing financial hardships and needs the community’s help to afford the $2,500 procedure.

Let’s rally to keep Otto happy, healthy, and united with his loving family. Every dollar counts. Can you chip in to help save Otto?

8/29 UPDATE: Otto is out of surgery and resting. This sweet boy had to have 18 inches of intestines removed. He had to stay overnight at the vet for monitoring, which increased the cost. Thank you to everyone who donated. Let’s rally to raise a few extra hundred $ to support Otto’s family!
