Hi, my name is Kim and I am the founder and director of Pink Paw Rescue Society, Inc. PPRS is a 501(c)3 registered charity. (EIN# 83-4683348).
OUR MISSION is to speak for those that cannot. To speak out to help provide proper healthcare (vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter clinics) at an affordable cost. To educate everyone on proper care and to dispel myths on what is required. To speak out and change legislation in Montana so that abusive situations are avoided and penalized if they occur.
OUR GOALS are two-fold:
FIRST is to provide a safe place and home for any dog in our care. We will take in any breed, but prefer giants and bully breeds for our rescue. So many are misunderstood in the way they are protective yet so gentle with the families.
THE SECOND GOAL is a two-fold operation. First, is that our military personnel may need a
special dog when they come home to help them adjust and adapt to the changes deploy-
ment may have made in their lives. Second, is that our military service men and women need safe haven for their pets when they are deployed or not able to take them with them. We can coordinate with transports and other shelters to give each dog the best foster home possible while their moms and dads are away. No matter where the dog is.
To accomplish all this, takes lots of time, volunteers and money. Yes, every non-profit needs donations of money and other supplies ( blankets, beds, food, collars and leashes, bowls, etc.) Puppy kisses are so worth your time!
The Story on how we got started:
The picture on the home page is of my first rescue, Mr. Who-Chi Moosey Goose and one of the inspirations for Pink Paw Rescue Society. Maggi (the Staffie) was in a no-kill shelter for about 5 months. She sat in her kennel looking ever so pretty and well mannered. No one wanted her. She was 6 and a bundle of loving energy. Mags got me thinking and when an online ad for a Bull Mastiff of about 10.5 yrs came up, I had to answer it. They gave various medical issues as reasons to rehome him. When I first met him, he not only had several medical issues, but was severely depressed. Neither the vet or I thought he would last long, even with medical care and love. But, we underestimated the power of love and companionship. He and Maggi created a deep bond on first sight. We cleared his medical issues the best we could, the arthritis was severe and painful but he was a trooper. After some renewal of socialization skills, Mr. Who-Chi Moosey Goose was winning hearts everywhere and was very happy. The move to Lewistown, Mt. provided a challenge in stairs to the temporary apartment, and he met that well, growing stronger. We finally found a home and moved to Conrad, Mt. on Sept. 10, 2020. He loved his new home, but the pain with is arthritis and probable nerve and back issues took over. After 1.5 yrs with PPRS and Maggi, he passed on Sept. 24th, 2020 at about 12 yrs old . Maggi Moo is the inspiration for the rescue, Moosey Goose was the first rescue, a hospice patient. Such a rascal and loved by all who met him. He is very much missed by us both.
