Where is Panda Paws Rescue located?2021-05-17T15:39:04-07:00

Washougal, Washington

Remember we are NOT open to the general public to come and go. We do allow adopters to come into our home but we do not allow people to just stop by to meet us or our animals. We try to make ample opportunities each year for our beloved supporters to meet with us at fundraisers or public events. Additionally, we post daily and allow our supporters to follow the journey of each animal from within our home on our social media pages. Your respect and understanding is greatly appreciated.

Do you spay & neuter your rescues?2019-03-21T21:48:41-07:00

Yes, we require that every animal is spayed or neutered unless medically they are deemed unfit for surgery because it poses a danger to their life. Thankfully, that is very rare.

Do you take cats/pigs/birds/wildlife/etc?2019-03-21T21:50:28-07:00

Yes, Panda Paws Rescue does occasionally help other species. However, the vast majority of our rescues are dogs!

I found a stray, where do I bring it or can I bring it to you?2019-08-26T10:48:55-07:00

Panda Paws Rescue does not accept stray animals and we encourage you to take the animal to your local shelter that holds the contract with your respective county to help the animal reunite with their family. If the stray is a Panda Paws Rescue alumni the local shelter will contact us and we can arrange transferring that animal back into our care with them. There are laws in each county which allow time for a family to reunite with their lost animal companion and it is very important to us that we follow those laws strictly.

I want to visit Panda Paws Rescue. Can I just stop by?2019-03-21T21:50:44-07:00

Unfortunately no. We do our best to make ourselves as available to the public as possible, however, this is our family home and for our personal privacy and safety (as well as the safety of the animals) we are NOT open to the general public to come and go. We do allow adopters to come into our home but we do not allow people to just stop by to meet us or our animals. We try to make ample opportunities each year for our beloved supporters to meet with us at fundraisers or public events.

Are you a nonprofit / 501c3 and is my donation tax deductible?2019-03-21T21:50:51-07:00

Yes! Panda Paws Rescue is a registered 501c3 charity and your donations are tax deductible.

I have pet food, medications, kennels, etc to donate. Where can I do that?2019-03-21T21:49:18-07:00

Panda Paws Rescue runs on a very low volume and therefore our need for these types of donations is much lower than it is for a lot of our rescue partners. I encourage you to make these types of donations to your local shelters or to programs that help feed low income family pets. When Panda Paws Rescue is in need of a specific supply, we add that to our Amazon Wish List & share it on our Facebook page as well. ( www.Facebook.com/PandaPawsRescue501c3 )

How do I donate to your Amazon?2019-03-21T21:49:29-07:00

Panda Paws Rescue has an Amazon Wish List and we do encourage people to donate items on that list. We try to keep it current with each new rescue that comes into our care. If you are an Amazon Smile member, Panda Paws Rescue is a recognized charity on their list to choose from as your beneficiary each time you make a purchase.

I would like to donate, how can I do that?2019-03-21T21:50:59-07:00

Donation is the sole reason we are able to do what we do here at Panda Paws Rescue. Without our public support, the number of more needy animals we would be able to save would be drastically lower. Donations save lives & we are eternally grateful for your support. Donations can be made directly on our website ( www.PandaPawsRescue.org ), directly on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/PandaPawsRescue501c3 ) or via good ole snail mail to:
Panda Paws Rescue
805 NE Perry Road
Washougal, WA 98671

I would like to foster, how can I do that?2019-03-21T21:52:34-07:00

Currently we only have our board members as volunteers, as well as one family that does tube feeding for neonatal puppies. If you are local to the Washington State or Oregon State area and are a savvy tube feeder, please send us an email as we see a major influx of cleft palate puppies that require tube feeding for 6-8 weeks.

I would like to volunteer, how can I do that?2019-12-04T15:54:40-08:00

Volunteering is a major help in the rescue/shelter world and most could not make it happen without their selfless team of helpers. Panda Paws Rescue is operated out of my personal home and I have children. Therefore, we do not allow volunteers here so that I can run as “normal” of a household as possible for my family as well as for obvious safety reasons.

Currently, we only have one family that does tube feeding for neonatal puppies. We do occasionally need transport help and when that need arises you can find the plea for help on our Facebook page.

If you are local to the Washington State or Oregon State area and are a savvy tube feeder, please send us an email as we see a major influx of cleft palate puppies that require tube feeding for 6-8 weeks.

Good morning everyone! As you noticed I have been quiet this last week. I have had a lot going on, intentionally took a break from social media, and investing back into recharging my own batteries. Panda Paws Rescue is ready to take courtesy post requests and help major medical & special needs animals connect the dots to get into the right rescue in the USA. Feel free to email me all of the details on each animal in need, great photos, what vetting has been done so far and what I can do to help to Amanda@pandapawsrescue.org!

Glad that you took a little time for yourself....you are an AWESOME PERSON for what you do

You need to take care of yourself!! I hope you are doing OK. You are incredible.

I did notice you weren't posting, glad you took some time for self-care !! Hugs and pets to all the furbabies 😍

Has your show been canceled? I really loved it. Good for you. You need to take care of yourself ❤️

Hello. I have followed you, first by finding your show on the television. I am in Iowa and while I can’t just run over to help you I just wanted you to know I am available to help you in a pinch. I have experience with special needs dogs, specifically a diabetic/ Cushings yellow lab that became blind very quickly. His disease was difficult but manageable and he sadly had to cross the bridge at the age of 10. My other lab with severe hip dysplasia that I was told by a vet to put down at 9 months old lived to be 14 years old. Again it was a challenge but we made it work. I have 2 doodles now and they both found me somehow and I am certainly open to bringing another fur baby into the fold. I know you don’t know me from Adam but I wanted to throw this out to you. I’m not that great on social media but if u want to talk please let me know. I will save this post as I don’t know any other way to make sure I can reply if you want to get in touch with me. Thank you and all your dedication to helping all these babies in need.

Hi Amanda is there anything I can do to help you..? I live in the UK and love your work. But with me being here I can’t physically help. But maybe a donation or something. Sending love ❤️

I hope you're well and thank you for all you do😺😻😺

Take care of yourself. It’s very important to take care of yourself. I look forward to your posts.

Panda Paws Rescue Do you think you’d be able to find someone to help these 2 blind sisters? They’re now at Pawtcake Refuge but an airlift is planned in about 2 weeks and they could join the flight if they have a safe destination.

If you need an emotional boost, pop onto Jade's FB and check out a couple of videos I just posted on our girl. She is so grown and poised all of a sudden. You'll be a proud Auntie Panda.

Happy you took time for yourself and other things

Everybody needs to stop and recharge a little now and then. What you do is something draining, but thank you for that!❤🐾

I am glad you took time for you. It is important and at 68 yrs old, I am learning to take care of me. 🥰

It is so important that you take care of yourself so you can take care of others !

Everyone needs a break now and then. Im glad put yourself first this time.

It is so important to take care of yourself!

Glad you’re taking care of yourself!

I hope all is well mentally and physically and emotionally for you. 💜💜

Love you all.Please take care of yourself 🙏💕

You lucked out getting rid of the rooster…! Awful critters!

We have to take care of ourselves first. ❤️

Sometimes we all need that time to be away from others.. l always say the same thing , ll need my time to recharge my internal batteries. Shame that my Uky does not understsnd that🤣😅😆😁😄🥰

welcome back. You were missed <3

Proud of you!!! About time. ❤️🐾

sometimes you have to take care of yourself so you can keep up the good fight <3

The oddest twins just turned three weeks & are thriving! One for sure got the Rottweiler genes & the other the dachshund genes!

Comment on Facebook

If I lived in the States I'd offer up my home, love Rotti's Mia, was my first Rotti adoption was dubbed mama Mia as she took other rescues under her belt(sadly she crossed over June 2021). Tinker was a a daxie x Jack Russell, body of a Jack Russell and colors of a daxie. Used to call Tinker, mia's minion and he was my second shadow...

Happy 3 week Birthday Babies!!!! I think I love Spike!!!!

Happy Birthday little ones!! So glad you are thriving!

Adorable! Rottis are my favorite, next to mutts of course.

It's crazy how genetics work... bottle fed a litter of yorkie/husky/miki mix puppies and one was the size of a Yorkie(6 lbs) the other 4 are like 25-30 lbs

Twins my mom dog first litter. When together long term the there blended personality is scary cause they follow each others lead

Litters of pups", can have more than one "dad". Mom got "nailed" more than once.

That's like my boys! One git the American Stafford terrier Gene's and the other got the doxie gene. Their both the cutest boys I have!

Oh my goodness! How sweet. Takes me back when my rotties were puppies!

They are precious I have a soft spot for daschunds

Hard to believe they are siblings glad they are doing well.

Awwwwww, happy 3 wk B-Day sweet babies

Thank you all you do for these sweet babies

They are adorable. One took after mama and the other is more like dad. ❤💙

Happy birthday sweet babies

Sunshine and summertime adventures are officially upon us! Which also means, HOT HOT asphalt! I post things like this every year, all of us professionals do & still every year thousands of dogs wind up with blistering, burnt feet & that’s excruciatingly painful. Please - BE AWARE! Rule of thumb: if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them!!

& FFS, don’t leave your pets in the car! Just stop that stupidity.

Comment on Facebook

This is 1000 % incorrect! Air temperature and pavement temperature are completely unrelated! 90 degree air temp in the sun and 90 degree air temp during rain will cause the temperature of the pavement to be totally different!

Had to tell my neighbor this last week when it was 85 and I wasn’t walking my dog like usual. He said it’s not true and he does it all the time with his dog! I told him use his face to test for one minute because clearly his foot was not working! Not sure if he tested with his face but next morning while we were both walking our dogs (in cool weather) he said sorry and thanks for the warning.

If you have to be constantly reminded of this, as well as not leaving your animal in a hot car, I (and this is MY opinion) think you simply shouldn’t have any animal. I always check the outside temp before taking my dog out at any time of the day, as well as checking the concrete walkways and asphalt around my home. If it’s too warm, we do a quick potty session outside in the yard then play inside for the day

I try to make my dog walk in the grass when I take her out. And I find ways to not walk on the hot pavement as much as possible 🥰

Before Ranger went to Rainbow Bridge he walked on concrete. He would only get in the grass to do his business. I live in Houston Texas🥵 No nerve damage no burnt feet. Completely Furever Altered🐶💙❤️‍🩹

I always check the temp for sidewalks and the road when we head out for a walk, but if the outside temp is up and it’s hot and sunny, we do cut our walks short. We go out early in the morning, when it’s cooler and after supper when it’s starting to cool down. My girl does much better then.

What’s funny is that our dogs used to voluntarily go lay on our hot tub cover which got SO hot in the summer we could not sit or step on it. They never seemed phased by it. We were always so worried about their paws and then saw them on that like it was nothing. Not saying don’t be cautious, but that really made me wonder.

Although helpful not always true. If it’s rained or shady it maybe much different but you should always check the asphalt in the sun spots to see.

When out with my (adult) daughter and her service dog we must look weird as we both periodically reach down and touch the ground.

These signs should be everywhere. People don’t think about Dogs paws being the same as our feet with no shoes on in very hot conditions. I haven’t seen anything in Australia like this and we need it .

Hope people will copy this and abide by it so that their fur babies do not suffer in either way.

Mom has walking booties for her service dog Barley..6yr old English Chocolate Lab...he gives me a look everytime...like really?...but he wears them...in summer and winter..even though in Alabama we do not have much of a winter...he always gets looks, but his paws are protected! And of course the color matches his collar! Soooo glad he has the personality of Eeyore (from Winnie the Pooh)! Here he is pictured w/ Delilah.

Hello, I find it exciting that it is so hot. Today is the beginning of summer for us. It's about 17 degrees and it's raining a lot. Drink a lot and take care of your animals. All love from the rain

I just got a cute overstock runner so my doggie can walk on the trex deck to come back inside ! Trex decks are hot in the summer

Thank you for the reminder to all dog owners!

I see so many walking their dogs on hot days 😡

When it starts getting warm/hot outside I limit my dogs exposure outside. If it is to hot outside for me it is to hot outside for my dog. When I walk her I walk her early in the day before it gets to warm, just when the starts getting daylight out

AMEN!!!

Can we get DISNEYWORLD to post this. Can you advocate this.

Thank you Amanda ❤️🐾

God bless you 💜🐾

If I am not sure if it's too hot, I put my barefoot on it first before walking any dog.

Concrete sidewalks too

Debbie O'Hara Look at the name of this organization ♥️

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...DON´T LEAVE DOGS AND BABIES IN CARS...

Happy Memorial Day! May we all take a moment to think about those who served and lost their lives for all of us in America! While enjoying the day off (if you have it off), bbqing, boating, celebrating, just remember why we are able to celebrate and the great sacrificed made for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Comment on Facebook

I have never understood why so many people say Happy Memorial Day. This day was established by the former Confederate States in 1866 to honor and remember the military dead. The first Memorial Day was observed in Columbus, Georgia. It was formally adopted by the United States in 1868. It is a solemn day of remembrance, not a day of happiness.

For the veterans who gave all, man, woman or dog, thank you all for your service and sacrifice!❤🇺🇸

So sad so many had to sacrifice their lives so that we can be free! Thank you to all of you who have and still are serving and protecting our freedom !

Love this! Thank you❤️

Thank you for posting.

Amen

It's not a HAPPY day. "Memorial". Be grateful and honor those that died so you may be free. Families of the fallen are not "Happy".

Amen! Freedom isn’t Free!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🥰❤️🥰❤️

🇺🇸 ❤ 😊

Thank you for remembering the fallen men and women on this day. Just a suggestion, you may want to remove the "Happy" from Memorial Day. For many of us, it's a day for remembering, & mourning, so there is nothing Happy about it. Just food for thought. www.codeofsupport.org/news-feed/why-you-dont-say-happy-memorial-day/
