To our community:
It has been an incredibly challenging year for many, and the rescue community has also been hit hard.
We’ve had to make a decision we hoped to never reach, to go on a temporary intake hold. This means that we’re unable to accept pets into our respite foster program at this time.
My name is Chloe, I’ve been a volunteer with Puppa’s Pals for around 3 years and I’ll be filling in to help with org leadership and regrouping. Kayla is still here! She’s had to shift focus for a bit and has asked for some extra help.
We want to get back to helping the community as quickly as possible, but there are some major organizational goals we need to reach internally first.
For Winter/Spring of 2026, our goals are as follows:
1. Assemble and train a group of volunteers on how to process new applications and intake animals.
2. Grow our current pool of available foster homes.
3. Find a dedicated volunteer to assist with grants.
We never could have made it to where we are now without our community, and appreciate your patience during this time.

I look forward to getting to know you all, as we work through this.
