Since 2019 Two Rivers PAWWS has been rescuing animals. Many of the animals we see are the abandoned, abused, or lost. Most come with significant injuries or health problems. The most common injuries we see are hit by cars, mauled by other animals, or intentially hurt by humans. Most common illnesses are parasite infections(fleas,ticks, worms), upper respiratory infections, and heartworm due to the warm climate of Eastern Humboldt County, California which intensifies transmission of all of these.

Day to day expenses are growing and emergency and big projects tend to quickly suck away any money saved. While we've figured out how to maintain by staying small, sometimes a great need for funding arises, for example: 12 abandoned cats or 2 dumped dogs, mother animals with whole litters of nursing babies, and emergency intakes.

The rescue has no brick and mortar building but we still try to do our best to help the animals who have no voice to bring awareness and would not have their story told. Many would not get the chances they do without support. Rehoming pets has been one of the essential points of the rescue, to give animals loving homes. Population control has been the other. All animals that go through the rescue are spayed and neutered, vaccinated, and need to be deemed healthy to go to homes. This is can take time and lots of ongoing funds. This is where we are struggling.

On average, a single vet bill will be from 4-800 dollars. We've spent over 10,000 this year alone, that's just at the vet. Keeping our emergency funds up help us help the forgotten and abandoned. Please donate and share.
