“Paws with possibilities is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization in joplin, missouri. We are dedicated to rescuing animals that are left homeless for a multitude of reasons to include: animals in public shelters where there is a high risk of euthanasia due to over-population, animals given up by their owners due to circumstances beyond their control or those in danger of abuse or neglect. We make every effort to educate potential adopters about the responsibility of bringing an animal into their home and the cost of caring for such animal before placing the animal in the homes of loving, caring, responsible adopters. All animals adopted through paws with possibilities rescue and care center are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and heartworm tested before leaving for adoption. We strive every day to continue developing a network of supporters and volunteers that can help us educate the public in order to create a better world for all animals.”
