How Will Your Online Donation Help?

Please make a donation and help us raise the money we need to support our clients during this crisis and prepare for what’s next! As a consequence of the cancelled event, our revenue will be down, and now more than ever, we are relying on YOU, our community, to pitch in with donations. Every dollar will go directly toward helping our clients and their pets get through this difficult time by enabling us to provide pet food, foster care, and critical veterinary care that they would otherwise go without.

Another great way to help is to spread the word! Please share on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and with your friends and family to help us reach our goal so we can continue to support our clients and their pets today and in the future.

Why Your Support Matters

While our volunteer Housecall Program is on hold, we are increasing support of foster care, emergency vet care, and pet food deliveries. We have a higher number of foster situations taking place, and in March alone, we spent an additional $5,000 to send pet food and supplies to our clients across New York City. With your help, we will continue to do so for the entirety of this crisis.

PAWS NY is providing constant support to vulnerable New Yorkers who need to stay with their pets in their homes — and we’re doing what we can to prepare for what comes next.

Here are some of the things PAWS is doing RIGHT NOW:

• We delivered extra pet food, litter, wee-wee pads, and other supplies to every client, and we will continue to do so throughout this crisis.
• We offered highest need clients foster care for their pets, and all clients were helped with any non-pet-related needs that were communicated to our team.
• Volunteers have been encouraged to remain in contact with clients via phone calls.
• We are developing virtual orientations so we can continue to train volunteers.

From all of us at PAWS NY, we thank you for being a part of this amazing and resilient community, and we wish you and your loved ones safety and health during this difficult time.

Here are a few things you can do AT HOME to support PAWS NY and help us continue to be ready to jump fully back into action when the time is right.

1. Reach out (via phone) to the elderly or isolated folks in your life. Whether you have family members across the country or have been volunteering with one of PAWS NY’s clients here in NYC, now is the time to hop on the phone and check in on them. Plus, consider sending them a note or letter in the mail! If they need additional support, connect them with organizations or services that can provide food and other supplies as needed.
   
2. Donate to PAWS NY. PAWS continues to provide services to our clients, including pet food deliveries, emergency vet care, and foster services. We have several ways that you can financially contribute to the organization and our clients during this time.
   • Support our Spring Fundraising campaign and donate to help vulnerable New Yorkers and their pets during this unprecedented time and beyond.
   • Set up a recurring donation and become part of our Constant Companion Program. This allows PAWS NY to continue to provide support for our clients now and into the future.
     
3. Join us for a Volunteer Orientation. PAWS NY is currently offering Virtual Volunteer Orientations, so participants can join from home. Our first Virtual Volunteer Orientation is Wednesday, May 13 from 3-4:30pm. Please email Volunteering@pawsny.org to register and we will provide you with the video conferencing information.
   
4. Spread the word about PAWS NY. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and share our posts! We will still be communicating with our followers during this time and will let you know when we can go full-force back into action.
   
5. As always, stay home to stop the spread of Coronavirus / COVID-19. Follow NYC guidelines and practice social distancing whenever you do need to leave your home for essentials such as groceries or medical supplies.

PAWS NY can’t succeed without you and your ongoing support, so thank you for your help and passion for the cause! We’re sending love to all of our clients, supporters, volunteers, and friends! We can’t wait to get back out there when the time is right. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
