Who is Two Left Paws? - Two Left Paws is made up of a group of volunteers dedicated to rescuing and placing abandoned and unwanted animals. Most of us have been volunteers with other organziations and have since joined together to form Two Left Paws. We believe homeless animals should be cared for in a setting other than cages or kennels; this is less stressful on the animal. We also believe that euthanasia should only be for those animals that are terminally ill and suffering or for those that have behavioral problems/issues that cannot be rehabilitated with treatment.
Where do your rescued animals come from? - The animals in our care come from various sources. The majority of our cats and kittens have been found as strays and brought to us for fostering, medical care and a chance at a new life. A large portion of cats and kittens have also been surrendered by owners no longer wanting them or those unable to care for them for various reasons (moving, allergies, children, no time, etc). The majority of our dogs and puppies have come from owners who no longer want them or are unable to care for them. We also rescue a large number of our dogs from WI and out-of-state shelters/humane societies that unfortunately do not have the space to care for the large number of animals brought to them for care.
What happens after an animal is surrendered to Two Left Paws? - We assess the needs of the animal and place them into an appropriate foster home. The animal is taken to a veterinarian for a wellness exam and to discuss any potential issues. Each animal is brought up to date on vaccinations, given any necessary tests and medications, and ultimately altered and microchipped. Some of our less fortunate animals come to us needing extensive medical treatment, while others were fortunate in their previous lives to have been vaccinated and altered and are very healthy. Any animal needing medical treatment is usually not available for adoption until any medical problems are treated.
Please understand that we are unable to accept owner surrendered animals at our office unless previously discussed with a member of Two Left Paws.
