Paws and Claws Humane Society

Paws and Claws Humane Society Paws and Claws Humane Society Paws and Claws Humane Society of McGehee has been saving the lives of unwanted dogs and cats in southeast Arkansas since 1994.

Through our non-profit organization, thousands of stray and abandoned animals have found the loving homes they deserve. Through private donations and grants, we are able to offer financial assistance to pet owners for spaying and neutering dogs and cats in Desha and Chicot counties. In 2017, our rescue joined forces with two rescue organizations in New England to make an even larger positive impac

t in our community with our transport program. This program enables us to find loving northern homes for hundreds of unwanted dogs and cats each year. In 2019 alone, nearly 500 homeless and unwanted rescue animals were adopted by loving families. Our volunteers are committed to rescuing and rehabilitating even more dogs and cats this year. While many of our rescue animals are puppies, Paws and Claws is also committed to rescuing and rehabilitating older adult dogs, many of whom are suffering from heart worm disease. We provide the medical treatment and housing these dogs need so they too can live the lives they deserve. While heart worm treatment can be costly and time consuming, our Paws and Claws volunteers and our financial supporters believe our efforts make a difference. There are many ways you can help support our mission. Financial donations are completely tax deductible and every penny donated goes directly to the care of our rescue animals. We also encourage families in our area to become a part of our foster program. Fostering our dogs and cats short term enables them to not only receive the care they need, but allows them to learn to trust humans so they will be ready for their forever homes.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Once again Masonville has been a dumping place for a very sweet dog! The house that she has shown up at loves her and she obviously loves them! The only problem is their two female dogs are being aggressive towards her. Do you have the time or place in your heart or home (or yard) to help us rehab this darling girl and show her what love is for a short while? Our shelter is FULL and we say FULL we mean every single kennel and they are doubled up where we can. We need a foster for her so we can commit to helping her. PLEASE PLEASE help us! One of the greatest rescue stories we have started with Rocky who was dumped in Masonville! I know people remember that baby who is living his best life today in New England!

Reflect on this for a moment. Isn't it sad that shelters are filled with labs, doodles galore, German Shepherds, and every other breed imaginable, all awaiting a second chance? And let's not forget the numerous shelters caring for unwanted cats and kittens too! Perhaps the litter you bought or sold found loving homes! Now ask yourself, did their new owners spay or neuter their dog or cat? Probably not. Wonder why there are so few rescuers? Most can't bear the heartache, but the dedicated ones stay, knowing that seeing any dog or cat get adopted is a triumph worth every minute spent with God’s incredible creatures that humans have failed.

Sugar's remarkable motherly love shines brightly as she nurtures her 10 puppies, and we're honored to be a part of their care in her foster home. Her gratitude for the love, safety, and care she receives is truly self-evident. THIS. IS. RESCUE. We're grateful for your ongoing support, which is why we come to you for help in situations like this. Now, we're seeking your input on names that reflect the “sweetness” of these puppies. Brownie Bite is already chosen, so please share your ideas! Anything that comes to mind as sweet we are looking for. Drop your ideas in the comments please!

DO the DAMN math already people. Better yet do the RIGHT THING!!!! Please for every animal rescuer you know, have met, heard of, or potentially might meet……STOP with the OOPS litters. It’s not cute or really an accident when it is preventable! It IS NOT our JOB or RESPONSIBILITY to clean up YOUR messes. We offer free and low cost spay and neuters for your dogs and cats! If your animal has been “exposed” it can still be fixed.
WE. ARE. TIRED.
