🐾❤️ KATHRYN’S PRECIOUS PAWS RESCUE NEEDS YOUR HELP! ❤️🐾

WE DESPERATELY NEED COMMITTED FOSTERS!

I want to take a moment to share where we are as a rescue and why we need our community’s help now more than ever.

As many of you know, Kathryn’s Precious Paws Rescue is a very small, foster-based, nonprofit rescue. We do not have a building, a shelter, or a kennel facility. Every single dog we save needs a safe place to go and someone willing to commit to caring for them.

Right now, we especially need help with our feral and fearful dogs. These dogs require so much patience, understanding, consistency, and time. They don’t learn to trust overnight. Some take weeks, others take months, but watching them slowly learn that humans can be kind is one of the most rewarding parts of rescue. ❤️

On a personal level, I really need to find Oreo his forever home. Oreo is a wonderful little pug mix who deserves a family of his own. Finding him a home would allow me to devote more of my time and attention to the feral dogs who are still learning to trust and need that extra one-on-one care.

Almost daily, I hear from people asking us to help stray and abandoned dogs, especially in Banning, where there is NO animal shelter. It absolutely breaks my heart knowing there are dogs out there who need help and that we simply cannot take them all in.

I wish people understood how difficult it is to run a rescue without a physical facility. We cannot just pick up a dog and figure out where to put it later. We have to have a safe, committed foster home lined up BEFORE we can say yes.

At this time, Kathryn’s Precious Paws Rescue is officially on an INTAKE HOLD.

The only way we can consider taking in another dog or cat is if a committed foster steps up specifically for that dog/cat.

This is not because we don’t care. Quite the opposite. We care so much about every animal we rescue that we refuse to take on more than we can responsibly care for.

FOSTERS ARE THE HEART OF OUR RESCUE. ❤️

Without fosters, we cannot save lives. It really is that simple.

We especially need patient, experienced fosters willing to work with fearful and feral dogs. These dogs deserve a chance, too. They deserve to know what love, safety, and kindness feel like.

I am so incredibly thankful for the people who have opened their homes and hearts to our rescue animals. You have made it possible for us to save so many lives.

But we cannot continue doing this without more help.

🙏 PLEASE, if you have ever considered fostering, now is the time. And if you cannot foster, please share this post. You never know who might see it and become the reason another dog gets a second chance.

And please help us find Oreo his forever family! 🐶❤️

🐾❤️ HAPPY ADOPTION DAY, ZIGGY! ❤️🐾

Sometimes a “Foster Failure” is actually the most beautiful SUCCESS story of all! 🥹❤️

After a few heartbreaking days in rescue, we desperately needed some happy news, and today we have something truly special to celebrate! Our precious little Ziggy has officially found his FOREVER HOME! And the best part? He never has to leave the arms of the woman who taught him what love feels like. ❤️

When Ziggy came to Kathryn’s Precious Paws Rescue from the Riverside County shelter, he was a terrified little senior Chihuahua who wanted absolutely nothing to do with people. He didn’t want to be touched, held, or even approached. He was scared of everything and everyone.

On top of that, Ziggy had severe dental problems, a very bad knee that needed surgery, and he wasn’t neutered. He was an older little guy with a lot of medical needs, and sadly, nobody had stepped up to save him.

But then there was Traci. ❤️

Traci said, “I want to help him.”

And that one decision changed Ziggy’s entire world.

What makes this story even more special is that Traci and I go WAY back, long before Kathryn’s Precious Paws Rescue ever existed.

Our friendship began years ago when our children went to school together and our boys played baseball together. We knew each other as moms, long before rescue became such a huge part of my life.

Years later, before I truly understood the heartbreaking reality of how many dogs lose their lives in shelters, I bred my beloved female Pug one time. Traci welcomed one of those precious Pug puppies into her family, and I got to see firsthand what an incredible, loving dog mom she was.

Over the years, I’ve watched her love her dogs with her whole heart. She later adopted another dog through Angels for Animals, and when she eventually lost that precious companion, she opened her heart again and stepped up to foster for our rescue.

Her first foster found a wonderful forever home.

And then came Ziggy. ❤️

This tiny, frightened little boy needed someone extraordinary. Someone patient enough to let him learn to trust, someone willing to help him through his medical challenges, and someone who would love him even on his hardest days.

Traci was exactly that person.

Ziggy underwent extensive dental work, was neutered, and eventually had surgery to repair his badly damaged knee. Through every procedure, every recovery, every difficult moment, Traci was right there beside him.

She nursed him back to health, comforted him when he was scared, celebrated every little milestone, and gave him something he may never have truly known before.

Unconditional love. ❤️

And somewhere along the way, that terrified little Chihuahua who once wouldn’t let anyone near him decided that Traci was HIS person.

Today, Ziggy is doing wonderfully! He’s healing, thriving, learning to trust, and most importantly, he is HAPPY!

And the truth is, neither Traci nor I could imagine Ziggy belonging to anyone else.

So when Traci decided she wanted to officially adopt him, my heart couldn’t have been happier!

People in rescue jokingly call this a “Foster Failure,” but I don’t see a failure anywhere in this story.

I see a little dog who was once overlooked, frightened, hurting, and unwanted, who now has everything he deserves.

I see a foster mom who never gave up.

I see a bond that was meant to be.

And I see one of the most beautiful rescue success stories we could ever hope for. ❤️

Traci, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Thank you for all the years of friendship, for loving your animals so deeply, for opening your home to our rescues, and especially for giving Ziggy a second chance at life.

You didn’t just save Ziggy. You became his entire world. 🥹❤️

And after everything this little boy has been through, there is absolutely nowhere else I would rather see him spend the rest of his life.

Happy Forever Home, sweet Ziggy! You are HOME, little man. You never have to be afraid of being alone again. 🏡🐾❤️

This is why we rescue. This is why we keep going, even when our hearts are broken. Because every animal deserves a chance at a love story like Ziggy’s.

🐾❤️ A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO DR. MOUSSA & OUR AMAZING RESCUE VILLAGE ❤️🐾

Sometimes in rescue, no matter how hard we fight, how much we pray, or how desperately we want to save them, we still lose them. 💔🌈

Our precious little black kitty was one of those heartbreaking losses.

We did everything we could to give this sweet boy a fighting chance. He underwent surgery to amputate his injured leg and was also neutered. Tragically, after surgery, his little heart stopped.

The veterinary team immediately began CPR, desperately trying to bring him back, but despite their efforts, his heart never started beating again. 💔

We were absolutely devastated.

His veterinary bill was over $2,300, but something incredibly compassionate happened.

Dr. Moussa at Alta Loma Animal Hospital accepted just $1,000 — the exact amount our amazing supporters had raised! ❤️

Dr. Moussa, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Your generosity, compassion, and dedication to helping animals mean more than you will ever know. You and your team fought for this precious little boy, and I will forever be grateful.

And to every single person who donated, shared, prayed, and supported us — YOU RAISED EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED! ❤️🐾

I wish more than anything that I could tell you he survived.

Losing these precious animals absolutely breaks my heart. I think about our sweet Leo, whom we lost in September. He was only seven years old. Far too young. And now this precious little kitty, who had so much life ahead of him.

Every single loss takes a piece of my heart. It takes the wind right out of my sails. Sometimes I wonder how much more heartbreak I can take.

But then I remember why we do this.

There are still so many innocent animals out there who desperately need someone to fight for them. Someone to believe they’re worth saving. Someone willing to give them a chance.

We may not be able to save them all, but that will never stop us from trying. ❤️

Our little black kitty mattered. Leo mattered. Every single life matters.

So I’ll cry my tears, pick myself back up, and keep going. Because somewhere out there, another precious little soul is waiting for us.

To Dr. Moussa, the entire team at Alta Loma Animal Hospital, our incredible donors, fosters, volunteers, and everyone who stands beside KPP Rescue — THANK YOU!

You are my village. You help carry the heartbreak, celebrate the victories, and make it possible for us to keep saving lives.

MY VILLAGE, YOU GUYS ROCK! ❤️🐾

With all my love and gratitude,
Kathryn ❤️

🌈 In loving memory of Leo and our precious little black kitty. You were loved, you mattered, and you will never be forgotten. 💔🐾

I am heartbroken to share that the little kitty did not make it through surgery today. During the procedure, his heart stopped, and Dr. Moussa immediately began CPR. He and his team tried everything they could to bring him back, but sadly, his little heart just couldn’t make it.

Dr. Moussa called me almost in tears himself. He was devastated, as was everyone involved in his rescue. The veterinary team had fallen in love with this sweet little boy, and we were all hoping so deeply that he would pull through.

I wanted to be transparent with everyone who had been following his story and praying for him. We truly believed we were giving him a second chance, and it is devastating that we couldn’t save him.

Thank you to everyone who cared about him, shared his story, offered support, and hoped for his recovery. Because of all of you, he was not alone. He was loved, cared for, and surrounded by people fighting for him until the very end.

Run free, sweet little boy. 🌈🐈‍⬛❤️ You will never be forgotten.

🙏🐾❤️ PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR SWEET LITTLE BOY! SURGERY IS STARTING NOW! ❤️🐾🙏

Our precious little rescue kitty is going into surgery right now to have his severely shattered leg amputated. 💔 Please say a prayer that everything goes smoothly and that this sweet boy has a safe surgery and a speedy recovery. 🙏❤️

First, I want to say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to everyone who has already donated, shared our posts, and prayed for this precious boy. Your kindness and generosity mean more to us than you will ever know. ❤️

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have already raised $1,000! ❤️🐾

🏥 Total veterinary expenses: $2,315

❤️ Donations received: $1,000

🙏 WE STILL NEED $1,315! 🙏

I know we ask for help often, and believe me, I know it’s a big ask. But the reality of rescue is that the animals needing us never stop coming. 💔

I want to share something from my heart.

Rescue is not easy. I’m an extremely sensitive person. I feel everything so deeply, and every animal that is suffering breaks a little piece of my heart. I wish more than anything that we could save them all.

But the heartbreaking truth is that sometimes we have to say no. Not because we don’t care, but because we simply don’t have the resources, the foster homes, or the funding. And those are the moments that stay with me.

It seems like every year I am involved in rescue, things get harder. More animals are abandoned, more are suffering, and the need just keeps growing. Some days, it is incredibly overwhelming and disheartening.

But then I look at this little black kitty. I look at his sweet face, and I know exactly why we keep going. ❤️

We may not be able to save them all, but we can save them one precious life at a time. 🐾

And today, that one life is HIS.

We are asking our wonderful community once again to please help us raise the remaining $1,315. Every $5, $10, or $20 makes a difference. Every donation helps us pay this bill so that when the next animal desperately needs us, we have a chance to say YES. ❤️
