FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.

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

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

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/

Nice looking lab puppies I hope someone can give them a good home

There is a German Shepard puppy in Romulus MI that is paralyzed in his back legs. He is at Bed Bark and Beyond rescue but they are looking for placement with a rescue that deals more with this type of thing. He is adorable and has his own set of wheels already

Also, Colleen and anyone like this - not welcome here either. HATE IS NOT WELCOME.

To my amazing supporters who say ignore.... I see the worst of the worst, hear it, live it, watch it, win and fail. When attacked over the stupidest BS, day in and day out, it is a moment for me to use this platform to remind everyone - love me or hate me - that this is NOT ok. It is actually important for me to use this vast platform to show what us humanitarians, front line, service workers, etc deal with consistently while we try to make this planet better than yesterday. I only share the lesser of the toxic emails because I am conditioned and if you all saw, read what I see regularly it would b heartbreaking and numbing at the same time. 

HATE IS NOT WELCOME HERE!

Comment on Facebook

I run a rescue and you are so right. People cant comprehend the hate that is aimed at us for no apparent reason. Rescue is not for cowards. Stay strong. You are an inspiration! ❤❤❤

I can’t even understand why someone would take the time to just say something that is so mean and frankly none of their business.

It is so sad that people have to be so rude. You do you. I have loved your shaved head from the very first day I discovered your show on Animal Planet (I am bummed it is no longer on the air. I recorded it from the very beginning so I can watch it now).

Some people just aren’t happy unless they’re being hateful towards others. I just don’t get it. Amanda, you have more people that love you then you do hater’s.

You really do awesome work helping out the animals and you seem like a really cool person. Thank you for all you do!☺️ I can't believe people. So sorry for this hateful person's comments.

She is just jealous that she doesn't look as good as you do so she has to cut you down to make herself feel better. You are a amazing human being on the inside and the outside.

I hate that people think it's OK to be so awful 🙄🤦‍♀️ I'm sure the things said to you that we don't see are much worse. Keep being your amazing self! ❤️

Shaved heads are amazing, I had one for a while (cancer) and it was so freeing. Keep doing you. You have more compassion than the haters, love all that you do for those beautiful fur babies.

Amanda, I am so sorry that you went through this. I too get talked down and have very rude comments because I have a disability that is noticed. Ypu are truly an amazing beautiful person

As someone who has a shaved head because I didn't have a choice - cancer. But I'm rocking it, I LOVE it. It hurts my heart to hear or see comments like this. It's no one's damn business people's choices as long as it's not hurting other people! I think you're beautiful! Keep doing YOU 💖

Absolutely disgusting… so much hate and judgement in this world! Miss the show so much, used to be my favorite! Is there going to be any new seasons!?

Some people are just full of hate..it's awful what you deal with..I think you are a very beautiful woman..with a huge heart..keep doing what you're doing..❤️

I’ve always thought you are beautiful with your shaved head!

Keyboard warriors, so brave behind their screen. Wouldn't do or say these things to your face. You are amazing and nothing will change that. It's easy for us to say ignore but we don't get the barrage of abuse you're getting. Stay strong Amanda, we love you

Will never understand why people try to bring others down and in a personal way. So glad Amanda you have the grace and amazing confidence of who you are and what you are fighting for, and not let petty attacks bring you down.

I have a female cousin who has alopecia and she is beautiful. So sorry people have to be mean and judge others.

Miserable people are toxic...I admire your work and you are beautiful!!!

People are rude and mean because they hate themselves. Amanda you are beautiful inside and out.

Just for the record. I love your shaved head. I think it's awesome. I could never pull it off. You do you. Don't worry about what the haters say. ♥

I had a shaved head for 6 months website contact. I was on chemo for breast cancer, did I look stupid. That persons comment was ignorant. I love Amanda's shaved head. Cool for the summer too

🤬 that is so uncalled for. Theres no need of tearing people down. Im glad you blocked her.

I just see this as an extremely unhappy person. No happy well adjusted person bullies others. Also you look awesome with a shaved head. I’m too chicken to do it even though sometimes I want to lol. Just to restart my hair again with no dye

Amanda, you are beautiful inside and out. Your hairstyle fits you. Not everyone can pull it off, but you are beautiful. Your heart is worn on your sleeve, as everyone can see with your rescues. When Panda Paws Rescue was on TV, I cried with you more than once.

Omg what a sad women I think you suit a shaved head (many can’t) your beautiful inside and out and do such a wonderful but heartbreaking job hate is not what is needed ! Love compassion and donations are needed keep up your angelic work ❤️

People can be so mean.i think your beautiful just the way u are.i loved watching your show and was sad when it ended .was so excited when I found d out you are doing great things near where I live.you are a super hero to these animals who have no voice.keep doing what you do.

Threats, hate speech or violence will NOT be tolerated here by ANYONE. Mr. Houghton, you were blocked less than 24 hours ago for violating very basic requests and being (clearly) unable to control yourself. You then could not help yourself and had to email me, more threats. Have your legal team contact mine if you wish for any further interaction, you are not welcome here nor personally in my life or rescues efforts whatsoever. All threats are noted, documented. Hopefully, Mr. H, you find a productive, healthy hobby for all of this wasted time.

(please note his area code is Florida.... nowhere near Oregon.... and he assumably wasnt present to assure me of sh!t. But please, bring on the media storm so I can use that to my advantage and leverage for better animal welfare rights.)

Comment on Facebook

Test test, is this thing on?

I angry reacted to the baby camel post and someone from their page dm'ed me thinking I was affiliated with you, threatening an attorney on me if I didn't respond. I have the screenshots if you'd like to collect more harassment evidence. Thank you for all that you do for these animals!

Maybe he should learn to spell rescue before he comes at someone🙄

Why are they being so defensive if they're not doing anything wrong and people coming to their rescue when it's a legit question, where is the mother? Why is baby NOT with its mother? It's too little to be away from mom.

When I first joined FB I was taken aback by all the hate, anger, frustration, and just plain nonsense people displayed. But, over time I came to realize that these people want, need, and live for the attention they think they've gained from their behaviour. I learned to make the most of my 'block' button and ignored them. It took some doing for me to get to that point, because of course, what I was reading struck a chord in me. It was hard to not reply. However, now my feed is filled with animals, rescues, and just plain fun!

Toxic males…once again threatening violence to get their way and worse when they are confronted and can’t defend themselves with logic and reason. They always resort to threats. Typical and predictable.

That area code is central florida. This is not the Florida that I grew up in, my guess is that he is a transplant. I’m so sorry for the idiots who live here now and spread their hate and stupidity. We’re not all like that.

Only thing I wanna know, where’s the momma?

Thanks for blocking him. He doesn’t sound like he has anything to add to your page.

Makes me sad 😢 that people think it’s ok to behave this way. I’m so sorry you are going through this. 🙏🏻🥰 I appreciate what you do for animals and really the families you have brought joy.

Wow. The utter gall of some people who have probably never cared for or rescued any animal. You are just trying to help these poor babies who need hope. 😡

Wow it is sad people don't have better things to do with their time yet they create a mess that you have to stop what you are doing with your family and rescue responsibilities. Bless you for what you do and prayers that the hate stops

Sadly many people have become keyboard warriors. It's easy and cowardly to malign people using a device rather than face to face. What happened to kindness, decency, respect and good manners? Treat others as you want them to treat you.

We got your back over here in Sammamish WA. I am late to this disgusting situation. More than happy to write, fight or whatever needed

Oregon Bay Area 😆 They are trying to manufacture something that doesn’t exist. It’s like 5 tiny red neck towns and they’re trying to size themselves up with “their neighbors to the south, San Francisco.” This is a page and not even a group. As far as the bsby camel, it most surely belongs to a lightly “regulated” organization called West Coast Game Park Safari. It’s about an hour away. My family went there once on a trip a coypje yeats ago and left due to the horrible living conditions and treatment of the animals.

My son-in-law, Gerrie Heyns, is a snake catcher and relocater in Montagu, South-Africa. You will not believe how many abuse from keyboard warriors he has to suffer. Too much to mention here. I think everything boils down to jealousy. He also saves many other wild animals and take them for veterinary care if he and my daughter (specialized nurse) cannot be of help.

You're a better person than I am for blocking this person's name out. I wouldn't have. But it looks to me that his first name is Erik. ☺️ No matter what, haters gonna hate. And there, especially going to hate someone who's better than they are.

He can "ruin your whole rescue"? Yeah, I doubt it! Does he even know who he's dealing with and how passionate you are about what you do?? Obviously not!

I am sure I am stirring the pot and could be wrong....looks to me that they only responded to women commenting... that should tell us all something about them... again it is Monday and early for me...

He can’t even spell correctly. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am so sorry that you are going through this Miss Amanda. You are a good person

That 352 area code is a Florida number

There are too many people here that loves you and what you do. I wish your show was back on TV. I miss seeing all those cute fur babies.

Wow what’s this guys problem!!!!

The way I see it, this twit is nothing but a troll trying to portray a "tough guy" ... a tad over sensitive by reacting to being blocked ... keep strong Amanda ... your work is valuable and needed.
