Little Paws of Bulgaria is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization based in the United States that partners directly with rescue networks and shelters in Bulgaria. The organization is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming stray, abused, and neglected dogs and cats from Eastern Europe—providing comprehensive intake veterinary care, emergency medical treatments, core vaccinations, microchipping, and spay/neuter surgeries prior to international relocation.

Operating entirely through a network of international rescue partners and volunteer foster homes rather than a traditional brick-and-mortar shelter facility, the rescue coordinates long-distance travel logistics and international adoption transports. Little Paws of Bulgaria is funded entirely through public donations, community fundraisers, and standard adoption fees, placing fully vetted animals into screened permanent homes across the United States.

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.
