Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue was started from our dedicated team of volunteers to save dogs and cats from kill shelters.  Survivor was an incredible 3 year old emaciated loving dog that was dropped off by his original owners at a New York City kill shelter.  He was only 32 lbs.  Survivor was pulled from the kill shelter and after extensive tests were done at the vets office it was found that Survivor was emaciated due to his original owners not feeding him.

Survivor was given a ride by a volunteer, his supposed adoptive family failed to show up to adopt him.  His transporter became an instant foster.  Foster failure...a badge of honor....meaning that his foster family fell in love with Survivor, hook, line and sinker.

Survivor became an ambassador for his breed.  He went on dog transports, home visits, temper tested other dogs and even tracking and hiking to find a lost puppy during Christmas time after being loose for 4 days.  People that met Survivor fell in love with him.  He was the best dog, one of a kind dog.
He was with his adoptive family for 10 years.  Sadly, Survivor, passed away at 13 years old due to cancer.

Survivor was a lover of all creatures.

The best way to honor Survivor is to continue to rescue dogs and cats and starting Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue.

Thank you to all the volunteers, donors, supporters, family and friends that continue to support our cause.
