Description

Giant Paw Prints is an all-volunteer-powered 501c3 non-profit charitable organization founded in 2012.  Our goal is to rescue, heal and adopt dogs in need. Although we specialize in larger breed dogs, we are an all-breed rescue with BIG hearts.

We run entirely on donations from the community.  These come in the form of private donations of money and/or supplies, fundraising activities, events, and the generosity of local businesses.

Large breed dogs are often overlooked in the shelters or surrendered due to the cost of food, veterinary bills, or income difficulties of the owners. We are contacted by shelters, animal control offices, and owners on a daily basis for help. Our Raise A Woof event helps us to raise funds to continue our rescue work.  

Our Gala includes a buffet dinner, beverages, DJ entertainment, live and silent auction, and a raffle. Doors open at 5:30 PM, Mobile Bidding Starts, Dinner at 7:00 PM followed by Live Auction and Checkout.
