As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a year filled with compassion and transformation. Together, we've achieved so much:

2024 Milestones:

• 460 Animals Rescued: Each with a unique story, they found care, love, and safety through our programs
• 275 Adoptions: Dogs and cats began new lives with loving families
• 143 Transfers: We ensured more animals found homes by collaborating with northern rescues
• 281 Spay/Neuter Surgeries: A vital step toward controlling overpopulation
• New Programs: Our Cat Population Reduction Program launched, improving lives for community cats

This year also marked a leadership transition as Kristin Pierce joined us as Director, bringing fresh energy and vision. We extend our gratitude to Kathryn Ellis for her foundational leadership; she continues her work on our Board of Directors.

To better serve the community, we’ve shifted focus from maintaining a physical facility to prioritizing outreach, education, and impactful partnerships.

Looking Ahead to 2025:
We aim to:

• strengthen partnerships
• recruit more fosters
• expand fundraising efforts

How You Can Help:

• Foster: Offer temporary homes for animals in need.
• Volunteer: Support events and fundraising activities.
• Donate: Gifts of money, supplies, or services make a difference.
• Sponsor: Businesses can partner for events or initiatives.

Your support makes our mission possible. Whether you’ve fostered, adopted, volunteered, or donated, you’ve helped save lives.

Thank you for making 2024 unforgettable. Let’s create even more impact in 2025!

With gratitude,
Kristin Pierce
Director, Hands to Paws Rescue
