About Us
Lend-a-Paw Inc. was created in August of 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, the outdoor cat population was at an all-time high. Spay/neuter clinics were closed and shelters were at limited capacity.
We started off in a garage, and by November 2021 we were able to expand to our first facility in Oceanside, NY. Shortly thereafter, we began rescuing dogs as well, and we've continued to rescue the most vulnerable dogs and cats in overcrowded shelters, as well as to help people and their pets in need within our community.
Since we started, we've rescued 463 cats and 244 dogs. We wouldn't be able to save so many lives without the continued support of our donors, fosters, adopters, and volunteers--thank you to everyone!
Our Mission
We are dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats from high kill shelters, helping our community cats by rehabilitating and finding forever homes as well as providing support to pet owners to help them keep their animals, preventing the need for surrender. We ensure our dogs and cats receive the necessary care and support they need to flourish in a home in addition to providing training and veterinary resources to pet owners in need
Lend-a-Paw Inc. receives no federal or state funding. We rely on our volunteers and the generosity of the public for food donations and monetary contributions.
