Whiskers, Paws
and Love® 
Driven by years of experience in animal rescue, our founders launched WPL with a mission to educate the public, especially children, on the importance of animal respect, proper care, and health. By focusing on education, we aim to reduce the number of animals entering shelters and rescues.
With a dedicated team of volunteers who bring diverse expertise in rescue work, we strive to make a lasting impact - one animal and one person at a time.
Our vision has inspired outreach to local Daisy Troops, teaching children how to safely interact with animals and understand their needs - highlighted by introducing a blind, special needs dog to reinforce lessons taught and show that all animals matter. We have partnered with local shelters to develop pet parenting classes for new adopters, helping reduce return rates. Additionally, we have contributed to educational curricula for grades 3–8, promoting adoption, spay/neuter programs, proper vaccinations, and the value of a pet’s unconditional love.
In 2023, we became aware of the critical link between domestic violence and pet abuse, and the barriers women face when trying to leave abusive situations with their pets. Deeply moved by the statistics, we acted - raising awareness and partnering with a women’s shelter to develop a pet fostering pilot program. This initiative includes medical and behavioral support, foster training, boarding and sitting services and ongoing assistance, providing safety and hope or both women and their pets.
Whiskers, Paws and Love® advocates for animals by educating all ages, raising awareness of the connection between domestic and animal abuse, and supporting shelters and women in need. Come support us and remember -
Every Action - Big or Small - Makes a Difference
