Success Stories

Meet our one-eyed little pirate – Oakley. This little French Pug lost his eye in a dog fight with another small dog. He needed enucleating surgery for a ruptured cornea. He is doing fine now. His owner was low-income and could not afford the surgery expenses. Passion for Paws provided a vet care assistance subsidy so that Oakley could receive vitally needed surgical care for his eye injury.  

Sweetie Pie is a tame cat that was abandoned on the streets. Some cruel person threw motor oil on him. He lost his multi-colored coat. The hair follicles were damaged, so it doesn’t look like his fur will be growing back. He and other rescued senior cats are now residing in the new Passion for Paws Old Cat Sanctuary. They now receive good care and have plenty of free roaming space. 

Tobey and Tucker (Shih tzu, Maltese, beagle mix) are staying with Foster Parents of the Year, the Fargo’s. This dynamic husband and wife team have fostered nine dogs for Passion for Paws over the last three years in Boynton Beach, FL. Thanks so much to these foster heroes for providing a loving and much needed temporary homes for displaced pets

These two would have never met if it weren’t for several foster volunteers and two pet charities.  Now Bella and her little human are best of friends.  Thank you foster volunteers!  You make a difference.  Want to be a foster volunteer and provide temporary loving care to a nice dog like Bella until they find their forever home? 

127 uric crystals had formed inside Lexi's' small bladder. She needed to urinate very frequently and was uncomfortable. Passion for Paws and another charity stepped up to assist her single mom negotiate a surgery at a discounted cost. A very skilled surgeon removed all the stones. According to her mom, “Lexi is very energized, eating and drinking well, and very playful." 

We were contacted late one evening to care for a 50 pound pit bull mix, Buddy, who had been severely injured by two pit bulls. He was rushed to the emergency room where he was treated for multiple lacerations, a swollen head and a missing toenail.  Buddy spent a month recovering at the Vet clinic. After much effort, we were able to find Buddy a loving forever home.
