Every Dollar Helps Free the Paws
Free the Paws is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pet rescue serving dogs and cats across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Your gift today provides urgent medical care, safe shelter, and a second chance for animals who have nowhere else to go.
Every dollar you give truly saves lives — and because we are a registered 501(c)(3) organization, your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Where Your Donation Goes
We believe in using every gift wisely. Your support is carefully directed to the animals who need it most and the programs that keep them safe and healthy.
Medical Care
From emergency surgeries and life-saving medications to vaccines and routine vet visits, your gift ensures every pet receives the care they deserve.
Food & Supplies
Nutritious food, cozy bedding, crates, toys, and cleaning supplies keep our pets healthy, comfortable, and ready for their forever homes.
Emergency Rescues
When animals are abandoned, injured, or at immediate risk in shelters, your donation allows us to respond quickly, transport them safely, and bring them into our care.
Spay & Neuter Programs
Preventing unwanted litters is one of the most powerful ways to reduce overcrowding and suffering. Your support funds spay/neuter surgeries for pets in our care and in the community.

From Our Hearts — and Their Paws — Thank You
