People Helping Paws Dog Rescue arrives "just in time" for countless dogs at risk of senseless death on the streets or in overcrowded shelters across the state of Missouri. Bully breeds and dogs with medical needs are at the highest risk of euthanasia with limited adoption prospects. Our rescue fills a critical gap in providing care and second chances for these deserving dogs. With monthly supplies and veterinary care totaling thousands per month, community support is essential for our sustainability and success. Funds raised from the gala will enable us to continue our life-changing mission through foster-to-adoption for at-risk dogs, and community assistance programs to help keep owned pets in their loving homes.
