Hands to Paws Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue based in Augusta, Georgia, serving the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). The organization rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes abandoned, neglected, and at-risk dogs and cats, providing intake medical triage, vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter surgeries, and community Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) support.

Operating through a volunteer foster home network rather than a traditional shelter facility, the rescue cares for and evaluates animals in domestic settings. Hands to Paws Rescue is funded entirely through private donations, charitable grants, and adoption fees, placing vetted pets into screened permanent homes.

Animals over profits: Unlike typical corporate chains, we are completely against selling animals — always, now, and forever.

You choose where 25% of the earnings goes: We believe in full transparency — we calculate this 25% before paying for any executive salaries or business overhead. By skipping the fancy corporate costs, we ensure the money actually lands where it belongs: with the animals.
