How It Started

Little Paws Rescue started approximately six years ago on the mainland. Julia Beaton and Diana Sinfield were busy fostering and find homes for Papillons and soon became involved in the re-homing of other small dogs in need. Things became too busy for the two of them to handle so foster homes were needed. Ideas for fund raising were discussed and implemented and they decided on the name "Little Paws Rescue".

    Over the years, Little Paws Rescue has gathered a talented and varied network of people; from those that foster and fundraise to those that use their wide range of contacts to keep everyone informed of any dog related situations. Little Paws Rescue works in cooperation with the S.P.C.A, animal shelters, veterinarians and other rescue groups.

    As the key players in Little Paws Rescue; Julia and Diana take seriously their responsibilities concerning this organization. At any given time you will find one or more dogs being fostered in their homes. As volunteers themselves, they work hard to understand and encourage the people volunteering with them. All monetary matters are handled by them. They take the lead and are directly involved in all decisions made in regards to the dogs coming into rescue, the dogs care, home checks and placements.

    Life is busy at Little Paws Rescue and sometimes overwhelming but the reward comes when one more second hand dog (An adopted "second hand" dog can make an excellent pet. With sensitivity, patience and basic training you'll have a first-rate pet.) is placed in a secure, loving , permanent home.
