All 4 Paws Rescue, Inc. was founded in May, 2009 by Kristen Schlichtig and her family.  After volunteering her time at local area shelters, Kristen felt she could do more to help needy animals and All 4 Paws Rescue, Inc. was born.  In late 2010, Tracy Long joined the team.  Together, Tracy and Kristen work tirelessly  alongside many volunteers to save as many animals as possible.  Since inception, All 4 Paws Rescue has saved close to 2,000 needy animals and continues to grow and save lives daily. 

 

 Most of the animals rescued by All 4 Paws have a euthanasia date scheduled and All 4 Paws is their last chance for life.  Many reside is shelters that are not even open to the public but are instead holding facilities where the animals go to die.  Many die in mass gas chambers or by heartstick and then are dumped in landfills.  Puppies, purebreds, family pets - these are animals you would never expect to end up in these horrible situations but it is a sad reality.  Through our network of shelters and volunteers, All 4 Paws has developed relationships with shelters nationwide allowing us to save countless lives that would otherwise have been ended. 

 

As a foster based rescue, our rescued animals live in homes with our families and our personal pets so we are able to learn a great deal about them and their behaviors.  There is no greater feeling than releasing these wonderful animals into a safe yard and watching them run and play as they should.  They sleep curled up in soft beds in our homes when hours before they layed on concrete floors.  Many have never known freedom or a full belly and they are so very thankful.  This is why we at All 4 Paws Rescue, Inc. do what we do - because they all deserve a home.
