Our pets are part of the family, and local rescue volunteers help more dogs and cats find a place where they belong.

This week’s Valley Tails Spotlight features Roscoe and Tiny, two pets being cared for by Paws Across Pittsburgh.

A rescue built around foster homes

Founded in 2016, the Springdale-based nonprofit is run entirely by volunteers and serves the Pittsburgh region.

Animals live with foster families while receiving veterinary care, socialization and support as they wait for adoption.

The rescue also offers community programs that include pet food assistance, spay/neuter assistance and temporary fostering.

Interested in adopting?

Paws Across Pittsburgh has no central shelter to visit.

Start with an adoption application; approved applicants can then arrange a meet-and-greet.

The rescue adopts within Pennsylvania, with home visits as part of its process.

Not ready to adopt? Fostering, volunteering or donating can help another animal get a fresh start.
