Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue, Inc.

White River Junction, VT

Our Mission

ADOPT LOCAL with a LOCAL rescue!!

You will personally meet with a Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue volunteer, officer or board member when you are handed your puppy or dog at LOCAL transport location.

WE do NOT have our adopters drive all over New England, New York or even further like "Out-of-Town Pet" "rescues". These are OUT OF STATE rescues that CAN NOT offer the extra TLC that we give to each of our adopters, families, etc. IF you have any issues we are here local to support you, your family and your puppy or dog. "Out-of-Town" rescues can not offer the same kind of services that we are offer.

Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue will be there for the time of application, thru getting your puppy or dog and with continued on going support and guidance throughout your puppy or dog's lives.

We welcome all our adopters, volunteers, donors and businesses into our Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue family.

We will find forever homes for the dogs entrusted to our care and to prevent animal cruelty. We will foster working relationships with communities, rescues/shelters & potential adopters. Ongoing support will be provided for our adopters.
