Paws In Need - Bay Area
Paws In Need is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving animal welfare Why Another Animal Non-Profit?
Paws In Need is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer organization that provides financial assistance for spay and neuter surgeries, necessary one-time medical treatment of community animals (feral, stray or owned), and medical care for low/no-income residents in the Tri-Valley area (Livermore, Pleasanton, Sunol, Dublin, San Ramon and Danville). Paws In Need has expanded the availability of financial assistance for Spay and Neuter surgeries to the general public. This is needed to reduce the number of animals that come to local shelters costing taxpayers millions of dollars each year. Under the Urgent Care/Advanced Procedures program, Paws In Need helps cover one-time costs for pet owners who cannot afford necessary emergency veterinary care. Its goal is to prevent unnecessary suffering and / or euthanasia of pets because the owner lacks financial resources.

🎶“Working 9 to 5…what a way to make a giving!” 🎶
California has now officially declared September 25 to be known as Dolly Parton Day. In celebration of Dolly Parton and her philanthropic legacy, and as part of the 925 GIVES regional fundraising campaign, Three Valleys Community Foundation (3VCF) is hosting a special challenge on September 25 for participating nonprofits. A prize of $925 will be awarded to the nonprofit that receives the highest number of online donations from unique individuals between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM.
In a nod to Parton's iconic song,
we are keeping this momentum going through Giving Day on Sept 25 by "Working 9 to 5," and making a difference one paw at a time!

Dolly Parton's compassion reached far beyond the stage. Her love for animals was such a beautiful part of the legacy she leaves behind. She used her voice, heart, and platform to make the world a kinder place for animals and give them second chances.
Thank you in advance for your support!

🐾 A Bittersweet Day of Remembrance, Reflection and Renewal 🐾
On this solemn day, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, along with the beginning of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, a time to both celebrate and reflect, our Paws In Need team would like to take a moment to express our gratitude for our generous community of supporters, who help us sustain our life-saving programs.
Pets are not only our loyal companions, but also brave local heroes who will go to extraordinary lengths for their humans.
On Sept. 11, 2001, a yellow Labrador retriever guide dog named Roselle led her blind owner Michael Hingson down 78 floors of the north tower of the World Trade Center to safety before its collapse.
In the aftermath of this devastating attack, over 300 working dogs served in the 9/11 response effort.
These heartwarming stories are poignant reminders of the pivotal role pets play in our lives, and the importance of safeguarding those animals and pet owners in our local community who are in crisis and just need a helping hand and a second chance.
That is why Paws In Need is participating in 925 GIVES, a regional fundraising campaign to support local nonprofits.
We hope you will consider making a contribution to help make the lives of these animals in need just a little brighter.

This Friday, August 28, 2026 is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day
A perfect time to make a donation to Paws In Need in honor or memory of a beloved companion. T
By honoring their memory with a gift to Paws In Need, you can turn that painful goodbye into something beautiful. Your tribute can help provide medical care and second chances to animals and the people who love them in our local community.
That is the lasting impact a memorial gift can create.
Because sometimes, the most meaningful way to remember those pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge, is to share that same compassion and love with another animal in need.
Special opportunity to make a tribute gift:
We're excited to once again join nonprofits across the 925 region in celebrating the power of giving and community.
We are grateful to be part of a community that believes in making a difference -- one paw at a time -- we hope you will join Paws In Need by making a gift to 925 GIVES 2026!
