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. 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.

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.

Talk about dedication X10! After many, many, many months in rescue navigating unique medical issues, reoccurring infections that seems resistant to everything under the sun, ring worm, Elhers Danlos Syndrome causing her skin to be so delicate and thin making her as delicate as a butterfly..... Spritz is officially adopted by none other than Dr. Roth!! They fell madly in love with each other from the beginning.  Spritz likes it when she holds her like a baby, gets toted around in her bubble back pack and spoiled endlessly.  She will get to come to work with her all the time, as she just makes everyone’s day better, and she is officially the clinic therapy cat.  You can’t help but smile at her & everyone is very excited to stay a part of her daily life for years to come! 

Congratulations Spritz, Dr. Roth and the whole team at Guardian Veterinary Care! Mega shout out to Sayde, Patty & Gerty for fostering her through the entire rollercoaster and giving her the absolutely best care every single day getting her ready for her big moment! Panda Paws Rescue X Rainbow Heart Rescue collaboration success rate is 100%!

Today was a big day for Joon!! She had her tiny little nares opened up to make breathing much easier for her and while she was already sedated she was spayed too. This surgery is going to be a game changer for her for a lifetime! PRICELESS!! (Only not really…) If you could pitch in to help with Joon’s medical bills, we could use the help! From the moment I said yes to her and her medical needs, I knew giving her the best would be a costly journey. We have cut no corners and spared no expense on all of these special ones & we do need the public’s financial support to keep it going and save the next thousand of lives! 
You can donate from our website at www.pandapawsrescue.org, mail a check via snail mail to: 

Panda Paws Rescue 
300 E Front Street #445 
Traverse City, MI 49684 

 -or- via Venmo using: amanda@pandapawsrescue.org

Thank you!!!! All donations are tax deductible! 💛 🙏🏽 🐱

Today is a big day for baby Benny! He is getting neutered which means one step closer to his happily ever after! His eyes are completely healthy now, and although they will have some scarring for life, he has full vision and we anticipate a lifetime of no setbacks with his eye health. Tons of TLC, medications and vet care for this boy resulted in a complete 180 from what we were up against with his eyes when we got him. Science is amazing! 

If you can pitch in to help cover the cost of all of his extensive vetting to save his eyes and restore his vision, please consider donating to here here or from our website (www.PandaPawsRescue.org)!

I wouldn't call being neutered a good day.

What a difference you all have already made in his life! His eyes are clear, his fur is healthy and he's relaxed, loving being pampered.

There is a loveable dog in Linconton GA that desperately needs your help Amanda. PLEASE PLEASE GET A HOLD OF THEM ABOUT "DUNKIN" They are on FB LC PAWS They've been trying to get in touch with you..it's an absolute emergency!!!! Sorry for the caps..my phone is freaky
