Why This Matters

At Hands ’N Paws, every trip to the vet, every adoption event, and every ride to a forever home depends on safe and reliable transportation. Right now, we don’t have that. We do have a cruiser vehicle, but it looks like a police car and isn’t designed for animal care. It can only fit 3 or 4 dogs at most, which means we still rely heavily on volunteers’ personal vehicles. This causes delays, adds costs, and limits the number of animals we can help. A Sprinter van would change everything — allowing us to safely and efficiently transport more animals, supplies, and lifesaving care than ever before.

Help Us Get Rolling: A New Van for Hands ‘N Paws!

At Hands ‘N Paws, we’re dedicated to getting animals to safety, healing, and their forever homes. But we urgently need a reliable transport van.

Currently, we rely on volunteers’ personal vehicles, leading to delays, higher costs, and limited capacity. This impacts vet visits, adoption events, medical transports, and more.

 

We’re raising funds to purchase a reliable, low-mileage transport van that will allow us to transport more animals, supplies, and support—faster and safer than ever.

 

Want to be part of the ride? With a $5,000 donation, your pet's photo will be featured on the van itself—traveling with us and spreading joy wherever we go. With a $2,500 gift, you’ll have your name proudly displayed as one of our lifesaving supporters.

 

Every dollar brings us closer to saving more lives.
