Our Story

Promise 4 Paws was started by a small group with a big mission: create a rescue that prioritizes the well-being of every animal.

We are dedicated not just to saving lives but to carefully matching each animal with a family that fits their needs and lifestyle. By taking the time to understand both our animals and adopters, we help create lasting bonds built on love and trust.

Rooted in compassion, responsibility, and the belief that every animal deserves a second chance, we strive to provide the best possible future for each rescue.

Through a strong, supportive community, we work tirelessly to give these animals the love and care they deserve.

Promise 4 Paws, based in Southern California, started in 2018 with just 40 dog adoptions a year. Since then, we've grown into a 100% volunteer-run rescue, saving and rehoming hundreds of dogs, cats, and small animals.

In 2023, we began transporting at-risk animals from overcrowded local shelters to trusted rescue partners in British Columbia—where adoptable pets are in high demand. What started with 13 dogs quickly grew into monthly transports moving up to 145 animals at a time.

Thanks to your support, we now operate both a custom transport van and a donated 40-foot Red Bus, built specifically for safe animal transport. Every mile we drive is a step away from euthanasia—and a step closer to hope, healing, and forever homes.

We rely completely on donations and volunteers to keep the wheels turning.
