Meet OLIVER & PAMMY – May’s “Buddies of the Month”!
We got Oliver from a breeder in 2017 when this “pick of the litter” had some issues, like his very lazy sit, that wouldn’t permit him to be showed. We considered ourselves very lucky because he’s definitely the pick of the litter in our house. Oliver is the quintessential labrador retriever since he’s never met a person or another dog he doesn’t love. He never wants to be out of your sight, and he gives “food motivated” a new meaning since he eats medications directly from my hand. He even tolerates his rescue kitty sisters when they want to sleep next to him.
Pammy is our rescue Formosan Mountain Dog from Taiwan. We got her as a companion for Oliver, and she’s been a great addition to the family. As a village dog in Taiwan, she was the early warning and first line of defense for her village, and she definitely demonstrated those traits at our house. She’s the alpha dog in this house, and this bossy girl puts her brother in his place even though she’s half his size. She loves doing zoomies first thing every morning.
Thank you, long term PAWSBINK supporters, Dee Mirando-Gould and Rowan Gould!

Providing a Safety Net
By providing Veterinary Financial Assistance, Senior Support and a Pet Food Bank, PAWSBINK provides the resources needed to keep cherished pets at home. Sometimes being able to have a pet in your life, and needing to surrender that beloved companion to a shelter, can be a very close call for a family that is suddenly living on the brink. Pet retention programs like these take the pressure off overcrowded shelters and keep families, and their beloved pets, together.
Proving There's No Place Like Home
Whether through our innovative PALS Senior Placement Program, or the highly-regarded Adoption Program that rescues at-risk cats and kittens from high-kill shelter areas, PAWSBINK is working every day to nurture and sustain the bond of companionship between pets and their people.
Support Compassionate Communities
From our low-income community support programs, to complementary cat boarding for those facing a life crisis, and companionship for seniors who otherwise could not afford a pet, PAWSBINK is there for the most vulnerable in our community – thanks to the support we receive from so many like-minded individuals right here at home. Thank you for your gift!
