We’re a small, youth‑led crew that launched in July 2025 after seeing how many pets are left to fend for themselves. Paws for a Cause exists to make animal care and adoption easier—and give teens a voice in that work.
We lead with empathy and care for animals and each other.
We empower youth to make a difference in their communities.
We support shelters, foster families, and new pet owners with dedication.
