Paws of Love, Inc.

Our Mission

Paws of Love, Inc. is a new, community-driven initiative that is working not only to restore faith in animal welfare in Lawrence County, but to provide a beacon of hope for abandoned and neglected animals. This group of volunteers is passionate about filling the void left in our community when we found ourselves without a local animal rescue group. At Paws of Love, Inc., our mission is to promote the humane treatment of animals through shelter, adoption, transport, education, and advocacy. Would you like to help us? Please adopt! The building that we are using to shelter the animals left to us is in need of extensive repairs and renovations that can best be done in an empty building. As such, our biggest need is to find good, forever homes for the dogs in our care. If you have room in your heart and your home, adoptions are our most fervent wish right now. Sadly, until necessary building repairs can be made, we cannot accept any additional animals. We are only staffed by volunteers right now, with irregular hours, but if you would like to meet our precious dogs, please let us know, and we will make arrangements to meet you. Please give! We started Paws of Love, Inc. from scratch, so your monetary donations will be greatly appreciated as we care for animals and plan and budget for building repairs. Deposits can be made in our bank account at any BankPlus branch, donations can be made using our PayPal link in the post below, and checks can be mailed to Paws of Love, inc. at P.O. Box 416 Monticello, MS 39654. Paws of Love, Inc. was granted nonprofit recognition under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), effective August 1, 2023. Your gifts are both appreciated, and tax deductible. Would you like to join us? Please join our membership! Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for making a difference for animals. Participate in volunteer opportunities, community outreach programs, and events that help create a more compassionate society for animals. Please message us to receive a membership application. Our board of directors is made up of the following volunteers: Kim Brister, president; Jeremy Robbins, vice president; Kristen Williamson, treasurer; Dana Watts, secretary; Brittany Mullins, and Heather Calhoun-Kearney. At Paws of Love, Inc., our mission is clear and our operations are transparent. Please stand with us to ensure that every animal receives the care and attention they deserve.
