Giant Paw Prints Rescue, Inc., (GPPR) is an all-volunteer-based 501(C)3 Non-Profit Charitable Organization founded in 2012. Our Mission: Rescue, Heal, Adopt.
We started GPPR because the giant breeds are usually overlooked and harder for shelters to house. They cost more to feed and medical bills are higher. While we specialize in large breeds, we will help any dog in need. We are also the go-to rescue for taking in the underdog: dogs that would otherwise be euthanized due to high medical expenses. We vet every dog we take in. During their stay at our facility or in foster care, we take care of every medical need or treatment we can. We also provide our foster families with all the food, toys, and supplies they need to help our dogs adjust to a new life.
Our Vision: We are all volunteer-driven organization dedicated to canines. We find responsible, loving homes where they are free from abuse, hunger, fear, and loneliness and receive the care and respect they deserve.
What We Value:
- The inherent worth of all animals
- The richness and complexity of the human-animal bond
- The generous support of friends and donors who make our work possible
- Honesty, diversity, integrity, transparency, sustainability, and innovation
We run entirely on donations from the community. These come in the form of private donations of money and/or supplies, fundraising activities and events, and the generosity of local businesses.
