Founded in 2016 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Friends With PAWS Pet Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) foster-based animal rescue. Operating primarily across Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, the organization takes in animals from situations of neglect, strays, and surrenders, providing vetting, shelter, and love until they find permanent homes.
Varies based upon each individual pet and their needs
Approved adoption application, personal references, veterinary reference check, home check, and signed care contract.
Adopters submit an application, which is reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis with reference and home checks. Once approved, a meet and greet is scheduled followed by signing a care contract.
They assist with rehoming and surrenders when capacity permits; owners can reach out with pet details so the rescue can assess if they are a good fit.
