FAQ Find answers to questions you may have on how Justice for Paws can help you.

There are many low cost clinics that preform surgery

You might be thinking “alright, many DC- based rescues seem exactly the same!” and while yes, we seem very similar from the surface- we are all different and unique in our own ways. Justice for Paws aims to make its mark by advocating for every animal regardless of if they are directly in our care or not. We have a heavy emphasis on spaying and neutering animals to eliminate the harsh reality of overcrowded shelters and pregnant homeless animals left in dumping grounds. This is due to a lack of appropriate laws and funding around spaying and neutering pets, as well as general lack of animal welfare laws, and enforcement of such.  

Vaccine clinics are found all over. 

We understand the choice to rehome your animal is a difficult one and there are many choices for rescues/ shelters to assist. The first step is to fill out our owner surrender form found here. The next step is for Justice for Paws to evaluate the animal and ensure we are a good fit to rehome the animal. Justice for Paws relies on fosters to take an animal in prior to adoption. We will need to identify a foster and ensure the best fit. After we have a foster commitment, we will transfer the animal to Justice for Paws care. We will work diligently, as we do for every animal in our care, to find the best forever home.
